Hawaii International Film Festival: The Monkey King 3D
Hawaii Premiere at the Regal Dole Cannery Stadium 18, October 14, 2012
“This remarkable new film is a frame-for-frame restoration and 3D rendering of the original 1961 Wan Laiming masterpiece, China’s most celebrated work of animation. Composed of gorgeously flowing animation created by hand from over 130,000 ink drawings and an opulent soundtrack inspired by the Beijing Opera, the film follows the adventures of the magical Monkey King of Flower Fruit Mountain, a mischievous character who creates havoc by refusing to bow down to the authority of the Celestial Jade Emperor.”
