… the definitive guide for your Journey to the West
A 1961-64 Shanghai Animation
First, turn down the volume as the piercingly high Chinese music can be extremely grating to the ears. After you’ve done that, click on play and feast your eyes on some amazing animation made by the Shanghai Animation Film Studio (上海美术电影制片厂) during the golden age of Chinese animation in the 1960′s.
Aside from the fact that it is beautifully illustrated, there is a lot of clever and innovative use of the setting such as the monkeys opening the “wave curtain” with their staffs as they receive Sun Wukong who has returned after obtaining more suitable weapons for his monkeys so they can defend themselves when he isn’t around.
