Short description
The all-powerful Monkey King once roamed freely between Heaven and Earth, but after angering the Gods, he was imprisoned within an ice cage deep within the mountains. 500 years later, monsters attack a small village and a child flees to the mountains. Unknowingly, the child releases the Monkey King from his curse. With the help and encouragement from this special child, Monkey King saves the village from the evil monsters.
What's left behind the scenes
- Director Tian Xiaopeng refused to change the script to appease the sponsor, resulting in the loss of funding. As a result, he was forced to finish the film on his own savings, which left no money for marketing. The premiere screening was very warmly received by the public, and fans of the film agreed to advertise it for free on social media.
- Domestic localization of the title contradicts the established one, as the main character is traditionally referred to as the King of Monkeys in Russian.
