So cheesy yet entertaining! A shame we never saw them reach India, and I only have two boxsets. Still, Monkey is a ridiculously fun cult following that inspired many adaptations, some loosely based on the Journey to the West.
Buddhist priest Tripitaka and his three disciples Monkey, Pigsy, and Sandy, travel from China to India to fetch the Buddhist scriptures. They have been sent by Buddha, and getting these scriptures will bring peace to the people of the world.
