Monkey King: A Myth Reborn for Modern Heroes
From his birth in a stone to his fearless defiance of heaven, the Monkey King has captivated audiences for centuries. In CGTN's upcoming AI-powered 3D short, 'The Legend of the Monkey King,' this trickster hero takes center stage in a fresh retelling of Journey to the West.
Rather than focusing on gods and demons, the film distills the epic into a universal story of growth, struggle and awakening. We follow a restless soul learning that true freedom comes with responsibility—and that real strength isn't about unbeaten battles, but about rising above our own limits.
'The Legend of the Monkey King' is the third installment in the 'Young Heroes' series, bringing a human dimension to a legendary figure. Expect a Monkey King that's flawed, funny and ultimately relatable. It's a myth reborn for today's audience, inviting viewers to discover the Monkey King inside themselves.
Stay tuned for the release of the short film and join the conversation on how ancient legends can ignite modern inspiration.
