This is a classic TV series, is the adaptation of Chinese classical classics, the myth of the world is very exciting

This is China's 1986 TV-series version of the Journey to the West, featuring the four characters of Monkey King, Pigsy, Sandy and Tripitaka. The four journeys to the West to fetch the scriptures of Buddha to bring back to China so that the land will learn of Buddha's teachings.

Along the journey, the three disciples protect Tripitaka from a host of elves, witches and demons. What results are special effects galore of magic and spells, which is OK for the 1980s, but is dated by today's standards.

The music score is magnificent, very catchy and harmonic. Just about each episode is full of fun adventures and action, and doses of humor mixed in as well.

With such a large cast of characters, from the heavenly deities to the human characters, it's the ultimate adaptation of the Monkey King story. Highly recommended.

Grade A

If you enter Journey to the West, you will get two financially successful films that were made several years after this one. Those films are junk; Hollywood-imitation garbage by talentless Chinese producers who care nothing about the real history and culture of China. They are out to just make a buck by exploiting perhaps one of the most courageous Buddhist practitioners in Chinese history. The Upanishads were actually the foundation of these sutras, but that small fact is basically irrelevant; the film is about faith, and the strength it gives the true believer. I am not a Buddhist or a religious individual (Philosophical Taoist), but I value the actions of those who live out the true values of their various religions by performing acts of kindness and humanity. This is one of those films. Remember, see the 1986 version of the film.

Although the special effect of the 86 edition journey to the west is simple, it tells a good story. It avoids the horrible and dark things in the original work and focuses on the encounter and difficulties of the four masters and apprentices on the way. It can cut off the demons and remove the demons, and it is difficult to obtain the Scriptures after ninety-one. The plot is suitable for all ages. It's worth watching. Up to now, it's still the most reruns of TV series in winter and summer vacation. It's still a classic that can't be surpassed.

A whole sky of childhood. Film is both thrilling, philosophical, and witty. Each episode is a vivid story. Actors are more than amazing. Create the standard character image. Magnificent view. Profound dialogue. "It is not known whether the Bodhisattva became a Youkai or the Youkai turned into a Bodhisattva." Each view is very interesting.
