The Monkey King—one of the best of the Monkey King movies—is much easier to understand than others in this series. Even though the storyline is weak, it is easier to follow and has a well-defined purpose in relation to other Monkey King movies. The two main characters, Monkey King and a young girl, Lin, carefully develop a relationship through multiple shared hazards. The animation is great and overall outlines an understandable story. The other characters who people this movie have no real engagement other than weak connections to the Monkey King and Lin.
