    Sun Wukong -
    After learning about him. He became my idol and my other half, after watching Monkie Kid, I’d wanted to make my own adaption of the Journey to the West, since I’ve watched that show. He’s been my idol and hero ever since I’ve heard about him through Monkie Kid. And now since he’s gain so much popularity and became noticeable through Dragon Ball Z and Monkie Kid. I’ve admired him so much, and I would dream on meeting him well only my dreams. I did ask my mom to get me the original story of the Journey to the West so I can learn more and study more about him my mom asked me: “why do you want this?” and I reply: “so I can study and learn about him, ever since Monkie Kid I’ve wanted to make my own adoption of the story, but I don’t disrespect him or the Chinese people who love him.” And just like that my mom got me the book and I cherish it it all and I cherish him as my idol and I’m glad that I can learn and study about him more

    I know plenty of versions shown here, but this was still very interesting to watch. Especially when it came to the Japan & China portions. Like, Japan mostly stopped being even partially faithful after the 80's (Boku No Son Goku/My Son Goku aside) & Chinese Animation mostly took a big dip within the 00's to early 10's & then rise back up after MK: Hero is Back. And Korea... mostly just did whatever the heck they wanted. Also I didn't expect a Tezuka (or any animated Japanese) film to actually reference something like 40's Princess Iron Fan.

      In the 60s studios had government funding to produce high quality work, because the main goal of animated works in the 60s was to win awards internationally to build up Chinese cultural influence. In the 90s animation became more of an industry, losing the government resources and kinda having to pick itself back up again. However, even though you may see Chinese animation in the 90s as “appalling”, to me, an aspiring animator, they are a source of inspiration and fond memories. I much prefer the 90s adaptation of JttW to most modern ones because of the genuine effort to be faithful and the clear love for the story shown in the work

    Thanks for this re-edit, I love animation.
    The one that really caught my eye was the 1958 stop motion version 火焰山, "Mountain of Flames". I found it on RUclips and was utterly entranced, even without English subs. I found it astonishingly similar to the Rankin Bass stop-motion holiday specials, like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. The same charm, the same heart and soul, and of course, a similar style, but an entirely different subject matter. Thrown in the fact that it came our six years before Rudolph, and we've got a real hidden gem here!

  • @DEV-gz2eu
    @DEV-gz2eu 2 года назад +7

    If any one is wondering about that Hello Jadoo (2017) one, it's a special episode of a Korean animated show called Hello Jadoo. From what I found, the special has characters from the show replace characters from the Monkey King story, with the main character Jadoo standing in for Wukong. I found some episodes of the show, both in dubbed and subbed in English, and it's well animated, entertaining, and pretty funny. It's like a Japanese children's anime, but with more crude humor and edge. I guess Koreans are even more daring then the Japanese. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a video about the Journey to the West special, not even on RUclips. It might be available on Netflix, but not in the country I live in. Also, I can't find any videos about the 2005 animated film Fireball and I know clips of it were available on RUclips years ago.

    Now manga.
    Journey To The West by Zheng Jian He
    He has another work called Feng Shen Ji that in the end has a reference to JTTW, also the protagonist fights against heaven throughout the manga.
    He really has more but it has to be searched in English, Chinese, Vietnamese and more Asian languages.
    For example, if you take the name of Sun WUkong from wikipedia, it has the names and each one of them has a different image.
    If you put Japanese you get more Goku, if you put Korean you get the Korean doroma based on JJTW.
    god of highschool and other things, I really don't know how to search, but in Asian pirate search engines something totally different comes out if you put JTTW or Monkey King in manga search engines.
    I remember a Vietnamese man who was like the art of The Monkey King the heroes is back.
    There is also the other group of manga that has the name THE great sage equal to heaven or the victorious buddha or fight against buddha. or some parody of any of those names.
    There is also the cameo as it is from Emma and Roshi / Goku in Naruto, plus Naruto's power to make clones.
    Even in Dr.Stone, which has nothing to do with it, he has a cameo from Goku and Sun Wukong.
