Earlier today, Netflix announced three new animated projects that will be coming to the streaming platform, with one of them being based on the classic story that has inspired several animated series over the years, Journey to the West, in The Monkey King. With the story created in the sixteenth century during China’s Ming Dynasty, Journey to the West has been an inspiration for the likes of Dragon Ball, The God of High School, and so many others.
Inspired by China’s famous legend Journey to the West, THE MONKEY KING tells the story of a very special Monkey, and his magical fighting Stick, who team up to fight against gods, demons, dragons, and the greatest enemy of all, Monkey’s own hubris!
THE MONKEY KING features all-Asian voice talent of Jimmy O. Yang, Bowen Yang, Jolie Hoang-Rappaport, Jo Koy, Ron Yuan, Hoon Lee, Stephanie Hsu, Andrew Pang, Andrew Kishino, Jodi Long, James Sie and BD Wong.
