Short filmTranscript
00:00In the mythical world of ancient China, a land of legendary monsters, evil witches, and sinister villains,
00:13the wise monk Tripitaka and his protector, Monkey, set out on a treacherous journey in search of the fabled Scrolls of Wisdom.
00:23Joined by Pigsy and Sandy, these four companions travel together through this strange and magical world,
00:34enduring perilous adventures and dangerous adversaries on their mission for the Emperor and all of China.
00:42The Legends of the Monkey King is China's greatest story.
00:48It is an expedition unlike any other ever taken.
00:54It is the journey to the West.
01:05As Tripitaka, Monkey, Pigsy, and Sandy continued their journey, they came to a land called the Crimson Kingdom.
01:12The king of this land was a loving husband who liked nothing better than to listen to his queen as she played the flute for him.
01:20But on this night, something terrible was about to happen.
01:23An evil figure slipped unseen into the royal chamber.
01:27This was Batwing, a henchman of the cruel Skull Sultan.
01:32In his hand, Batwing held the Sultan's magic bells.
01:36He had come to the palace on the Sultan's orders to kidnap the queen.
01:40Using his magic powers, Batwing carried the queen to the Skull Sultan's mountain fortress.
01:58The next day, Tripitaka and his companions entered the capital of the Crimson Kingdom.
02:07Get your mandrake roots here! Magnificent mandrake roots!
02:10I have pots and jars, all colors, shapes and sizes!
02:13Melons! I have fresh red melons!
02:15You there, how would you like a delicious melon?
02:17It's sweet and juicy!
02:19Huh?
02:20Huh?
02:21Huh?
02:22Melon!
02:23Ah, hold on there, Pigsy.
02:25We should find a place to stay before we start thinking about food.
02:29Now, come on, let's go.
02:34Not far down the road, the travelers came upon an inn.
02:38Greetings, we need a place to stay.
02:41Well then, look no further.
02:44We'll only be here a night. We're pilgrims on our way to India.
02:48I'm the caretaker of this inn. If you don't mind a little dirt, you're welcome to step inside.
02:54Thank you, we will.
02:59Pigsy, go and get us some rice and vegetables for dinner.
03:02Oh, finally I get something to eat!
03:05Pigsy had found some food and was returning to the inn when he heard the royal herald make an announcement.
03:11Citizens! The king is ill and the royal doctor cannot cure him.
03:15Anyone who has medical knowledge and wants to treat the king should tear this poster off the wall.
03:22A successful cure will be rewarded, but failure will be punished.
03:27Are there any volunteers? Who will cure the king?
03:31Me!
03:32No problem, I can cure him.
03:37My name is Pigsy, I can do anything. I accept the challenge.
03:41I am the royal doctor. Where did you study medicine?
03:53Actually, I never studied medicine, but give me a meal and I'll cure the king.
03:58I warn you, if you're a trickster and you're only offering to help the king because you want something to eat, I'll make sure you regret it.
04:06I ask you, does this look like the face of a trickster?
04:09Hmm. All right, guards, take this pig to the royal banquet hall and let him have all the food he wants.
04:16And so, Pigsy sat down at a huge table laden with delicacies and ate his fill.
04:25He had no intention of curing the king himself. He was going to have Monkey do that.
04:31But he was having too much fun to explain his plan to the royal doctor.
04:35Then, quite unexpectedly, the doctor appeared.
04:39You are a trickster! Guards, make him into a suit!
04:43Find my friend Monkey at the inn. He'll cure the king!
04:47I seek a pilgrim named Monkey.
04:49Hmm? Well, that's me.
04:52I am an emissary from the royal palace. You are to come with me and cure our king. He is very ill.
04:58Oh? And why should I come and cure your king?
05:01Because if you don't, your friend Pigsy's in big trouble.
05:04Hmm.
05:06Monkey had better show up soon or I'm gonna be in hot water, and I mean very hot water.
05:12Pigsy!
05:13Oh, Monkey!
05:14Am I glad to see you! I said I'd cure the king's illness, but I can't, so you have to do it!
05:21Pigsy, I'm not a doctor. How can I cure him?
05:24Oh, use your magic powers! If you don't, I'll go into the soup!
05:28There's been a misunderstanding here. Please let my friend go.
05:31Hmm.
05:32The only place to let me go is into the pot unless you cure the king!
05:35Soup time!
05:36No, wait! Please release my friend. I will cure your king.
05:42You just admitted that you're not a doctor.
05:45That's true, but I can help the king with my magic powers.
05:48Fine. Guards, untie the pig!
05:51Your Majesty, someone has come forward who says he can cure your illness.
05:59Send him in so I can look at him.
06:02Sir, the king wishes to have a look at you.
06:10Monkey will cure your illness, Majesty.
06:13Huh?
06:14It's a monkey!
06:15Your Majesty!
06:16Huh?
06:17Don't let that ape get near the king!
06:20Mm-hmm.
06:21Huh?
06:22I don't need to come near the king to cure him.
06:26See this golden thread?
06:31Uh-huh.
06:32Would you please tie one end of it around the king's wrist?
06:41All right, it's done.
06:42Good.
06:43Now I can diagnose His Majesty's illness.
06:47Oh, one more thing. I need a stool to sit on.
06:50No stools are allowed in the royal chamber.
06:53What's up?
06:54Oh.
06:55Uh, Pigsy?
06:57Huh?
06:59Oh!
07:02Ah!
07:04Oh!
07:05I have good news.
07:06The thread has revealed the king's illness to me.
07:09He is heart-sick because someone he loves has suddenly disappeared.
07:13If you give him one cup of forget-me-not tea, he'll be fine by nightfall.
07:17We'll do as you say.
07:18But if the king doesn't get better, your friend will soon be bacon broth.
07:22All right, Mr. Royal Doctor, you have a deal.
07:26Huh?
07:27Monkey?
07:28Oh, you've got to be right.
07:30I mean, I like eating soup, but I don't want to be one.
07:34Relax, Pigsy.
07:35The king will get better.
07:36But until he does, the pig will stay locked in the palace dungeon.
07:42Meanwhile, in the mountain fortress of the Skull Sultan,
07:45the kidnapped queen was sleeping quietly in her cell when an unexpected visitor arrived.
07:53It was one of the Sultan's evil servant girls disguised as an innocent maid.
07:58Pardon me for disturbing you, oh queen.
08:01But the Skull Sultan has sent a gift for you.
08:07Oh!
08:08It's a moon rope, your highness.
08:10And the Skull Sultan wants to see you wearing it.
08:14Please put it on.
08:15If you refuse, he'll have the guards punish me.
08:19Are you a prisoner too?
08:21Yes, the Skull Sultan had me captured to serve you.
08:24And if I don't wear the robe, you'll be punished?
08:27Yes, severely.
08:29Then of course I'll put on the moon robe.
08:31And so, wearing the moon robe, the queen was led into the great cavern that was the Skull Sultan's throne room.
08:42With the devious servant girl showing her the way, the queen came at last before the evil Skull Sultan himself.
08:50Welcome to my fortress, oh queen.
08:52That moon robe you're wearing used to belong to the wise sorcerer, Xi Yang, until I stole it.
08:58Only noble queens can wear it, which is why I had you kidnapped.
09:01Then my servant girl pretended to be an innocent maid to make you put it on.
09:10No.
09:11Oh yes, dear queen.
09:13Now come and let me admire my robe.
09:15No.
09:16No.
09:18Using his magic bells, the Skull Sultan cast a sleeping spell on the queen.
09:25Now I can admire the moon robe.
09:28He he he he he.
09:31Master, what happened?
09:34I'm not sure.
09:36I reached out to touch the robe, but I got a shot.
09:39I don't know why.
09:40I know why.
09:42The magic moon robe protects its wearer against any evil being who comes too close.
09:48So none of us can approach her.
09:50I'd better kidnap a maid from the palace to serve her, because the moon robe won't let us near the queen.
09:55See to it, Batwing.
09:59Meanwhile, in the palace dungeon, Pigsy was waiting to learn his fate.
10:04Hey pig!
10:05You have a visitor.
10:06Doctor?
10:07You're free.
10:08That monkey's a medical miracle worker.
10:09The king drank a cup of forget-me-not tea and promptly recovered.
10:11He'd like you and all your companions to have dinner with him.
10:12While the city celebrated the king's recovery, the king himself was with the four travelers.
10:18Please try my new favorite drink, forget-me-not tea.
10:19Please try my new favorite drink, forget-me-not tea.
10:21You know monkey, you were absolutely right about my illness.
10:24Oh?
10:25I was heart sick, and although my health has returned, I'm still heart sick.
10:27You see, my beloved queen mysteriously disappeared without a trace last night.
10:29Well, don't you worry, your majesty.
10:30I'll find your queen and I'll bring her back.
10:31Ah!
10:32Ah!
10:33Ah!
10:34Ah!
10:35Ah!
10:36Ah!
10:37Ah!
10:38Ah!
10:39Ah!
10:40Ah!
10:41Ah!
10:42Ah!
10:43Ah!
10:44Ah!
10:45Ah!
10:46Ah!
10:47Ah!
10:48Ah!
10:49Ah!
10:50Ah!
10:51Ah!
10:52Ah!
10:53Let no one dare search for the queen.
10:54Ah!
10:55Ah!
10:56Ah!
10:57Ah!
10:58Ah!
10:59Ah!
11:00Ah!
11:01Ah!
11:02Ah!
11:03Ah!
11:04Ah!
11:05Let no one dare search for the queen!
11:07I, Batwing, captured her for my master, the Skull Sultan, and now she is his prisoner!
11:08Tonight, I shall capture a palace maze and make her a servant of the captive queen!
11:10Oh no you won't!
11:11And if you know what's good for you, you'll release the queen!
11:13Haha!
11:14Make me!
11:15I guess I'll have to, but you're going to regret having provoked
11:19me!
11:20Ha!
11:21I don't fear you!
11:22Ah!
11:23Within a few moments, Batwing realized that he was no match for Monkey.
11:35He fled with Monkey in hot pursuit, and they both vanished into the billowing mists of a nearby cloud.
11:44Although the queen was still the Skull Sultan's prisoner, Monkey was doing all he could to rescue her.
11:51He and his companions would not rest until they had freed her from the Skull Sultan and reunited her with the king.
12:04The queen of the Crimson Kingdom had been taken captive by the evil Skull Sultan.
12:10At the palace, the king waited with Tripitaka, Pigsy, and Sandy for Monkey, who had flown off to confront the Skull Sultan's henchman, Batwing.
12:18Now, Monkey was about to return to the palace.
12:23Master! I'm back!
12:25At last, Monkey's returned.
12:27Huh? He's returned! Did he rescue my queen?
12:35Monkey, welcome.
12:38Master.
12:39Tell me, where's the queen? We'd hoped you'd rescued her.
12:43Not yet, but I saw Batwing flee into a cave. It must be Skull Sultan's fortress.
12:47The Skull Sultan?
12:48He's the one who's holding my dear wife prisoner.
12:51I'm sure she's being held in that fortress.
12:53No one but you, Monkey, can rescue her. I beg you. Save my queen from the Skull Sultan.
12:59I will, though I'm not quite sure how.
13:02You'll find a way, Monkey.
13:03Oh, I hope so.
13:04Ah, I'll sneak into the fortress tomorrow and work out a plan, but tonight I think I need some rest.
13:12The next morning, Monkey flew to the Skull Sultan's mountain fortress.
13:17He was wondering how he would disguise himself to sneak into the fortress when he saw the captain of the Sultan's guard come out.
13:25Wake up!
13:25I'm going on a secret mission for Batwing. Last night he was chased by a monkey.
13:31Mm-hmm.
13:32So I'm going to find that monkey and warn him that if he comes around here, he'll regret it.
13:38Grr!
13:39Grr!
13:39Grr!
13:42Monkey decided to have a little fun with the captain of the guards and made himself appear to be a wizard.
13:50Excuse me, Captain. You're out here looking for a monkey, are you not?
13:54Uh, yes, but how do you know that?
13:57I am a wizard. I know everything.
13:59Then tell me where Monkey is so I can warn him not to come near the Skull Sultan's fortress.
14:03I can show him to you if you like. He's right here.
14:06Eh? He's here? Where? Is he hiding above us on the mountain?
14:09No, Captain. He's sitting in front of you.
14:12Silly wizard, you're not a monkey.
14:15Oh, yes I am.
14:19Help!
14:21Quiet! I don't want the Skull Sultan to know I'm here.
14:23I'm going to slip into the fortress disguised as you.
14:26You are?
14:27That's right. And you're going to take a little nap.
14:30Wow!
14:32Great night.
14:37And now I'll pay the Skull Sultan a visit.
14:41Disguised as the captain of the guards, Monkey was able to go straight into the fortress.
14:47Skull Sultan! I have important news.
14:50Hey, you woke me up! This better be good.
14:53Yeah! This better be good!
14:56Well, what's your news, Captain?
14:58My news is, Monkey and his friends have fled the Crimson Kingdom.
15:02If they hadn't fled, my powerful magic bells would have made short work of them.
15:06Someone should tell the news to our prisoner, the Queen, so that she gives up her foolish hope of being rescued and agrees to give you back the magic moon robe, Master.
15:16You're right, Batwing.
15:17Skull Sultan, please allow me to tell the news to the Queen.
15:21Why should you do it?
15:22So you can sleep!
15:23That's a good reason. You tell her.
15:27In the gloom of her cell, the Queen was gazing out the window, missing her husband, the King, when she suddenly heard her flute being played.
15:38Huh? My flute! It must be the King! Oh, my darling! I knew you'd come to rescue me!
15:48Sorry I'm not your husband, but I will rescue you! Close the door!
15:56Who are you?
15:57I'm a friend of the King!
15:59My name is Monkey. To prove that the King sent me, I brought along your flute. See?
16:08Tell me, how is my husband?
16:09He's back at the royal palace, and he's so worried about you that he grew ill. Luckily, I cured him.
16:15Oh, my poor King. I miss him terribly.
16:18Now, don't you worry. We'll get you out of here. You distract the Sultan with your flute, and I'll grab his magic bells.
16:23The Queen did as Monkey said, and while her marvelous music distracted the Skull Sultan, Monkey, disguised once again as the Captain of the Gods, waited for a chance to take the magic bells.
16:38More tea, fearless leader? I hope it's sweet enough.
16:43Yes, it's sweet, but not half as sweet as the knowledge that the cowardly Monkey and his friends have fled.
16:49Time for a nap.
17:04Thought you could trick me, did you? But I cast a spell to protect the magic bells, so you might as well surrender, Monkey.
17:11Never!
17:12Hey, where do you think you're going? Come back here!
17:14You better release the Queen, or you'll be sorry!
17:23You're the one who'll be sorry!
17:31Monkey was winning the struggle until the Skull Sultan unleashed the power of his magic bells.
17:36It's a sandstorm!
17:38Within a moment, Monkey was buried upside down in sand, while the Skull Sultan gloated over him.
17:45As long as I have the magic bells of Xi Yang, I am invincible!
17:50Oh, stop talking and pull me out of here! Come on, be quick about it!
17:57That's better!
17:58You're my prisoner, Monkey!
18:00No, I think my friends Pigsy and Sandy will rescue me!
18:03Hmm? What makes you think that?
18:05The fact that I can see them right behind you!
18:07Huh? You're not going to get me to fall for that old trick! I'm much too clever!
18:15I hate it when that happens!
18:18While Sandy distracted the Skull Sultan, Pigsy had an idea and started to dig a hole in the sand.
18:26That's it, Sandy! Don't give up!
18:29Oh, no!
18:30Pigsy, thanks for coming to my rescue!
18:32Let's escape!
18:33Wait! You'd better untie me first!
18:35Okay, Sandy!
18:38Right, Monkey!
18:40If Monkey's gone, I'll capture you instead!
18:42Oh, no, you won't!
18:48Oh, they all got away!
18:50If they ever dare come near my fortress again, I'll make them all my prisoners forever!
18:59Monkey suspected that the magic bells were from the sorcerer Xi Yang.
19:04So Monkey flew off to meet Xi Yang at his mountain home.
19:08Greetings, Xi Yang!
19:13Uh-oh, he's sound asleep.
19:15The sound of his water jug breaking should wake him up.
19:18Oh, what was that?
19:20Oh, Monkey, it's you!
19:23What's going on?
19:24Was it you who broke my water jug?
19:25Well, I suppose you're here for a reason.
19:29Tell me what it is.
19:30The Skull Sultan has your magic bells.
19:32Could you cast a spell that protects me from them?
19:34My magic bells?
19:35I'd better cast that spell for you right away!
19:39After Xi Yang cast the magic spell,
19:41he and Monkey made a plan with Pigsy and Sandy to capture the Sultan.
19:45Then Monkey flew off to see the Queen.
19:47The time has come to defeat the Skull Sultan!
19:54Defeat the Skull Sultan?
19:55Monkey, that isn't going to be easy.
19:57No, but Xi Yang and my friends are helping me.
20:00And I'm also going to need your help.
20:02I'll be glad to help you out.
20:03Tell me what you want me to do.
20:04I'll have to impersonate you,
20:06so I'm going to need that moon robe you're wearing.
20:08And you'll need a disguise, too.
20:10Huh?
20:11Huh?
20:12Huh?
20:16Huh?
20:17Skull Sultan, I have an offer for you.
20:21An offer? Let's hear it.
20:23I'll give you the moon robe, but on one condition.
20:26What condition?
20:27I want you to let me go to the river and bathe.
20:29This cave is so dank and dusty
20:31that my delicate royal skin needs a good wash.
20:33You've got a deal.
20:36And so, still disguised as the Queen,
20:39Monkey led the Skull Sultan and his gods
20:41down to the riverbank.
20:43Skull Sultan, a gentleman must not watch
20:46when a lady is bathing.
20:47Oh, right, I'll, um, close my eyes.
20:53Now, now, no peeking.
20:57Huh?
20:59Monkey!
20:59That's right!
21:03Surrender!
21:04Never!
21:05Well, I warned you!
21:07Pigsy and Sandy had been hiding in the bushes.
21:11Now, they pounced.
21:14Try using your magic bells!
21:19The magic bells created another sandstorm,
21:22but this time, Monkey was protected
21:24by Xia Yang's magic spell.
21:26Oh, no, you don't!
21:34I got the bells!
21:36Xia Yang, capture the Sultan!
21:38Huh?
21:39Oh, I'll use my magic collar!
21:42The Sultan is actually my ox!
21:54And I'll bet he stole the moonrobe
21:56and the bells while you were sleeping!
21:58But he won't steal them again!
22:00And here they are, safe and sound!
22:02Oh, thank you!
22:06Your Majesty, the Queen is back!
22:09Bring her here!
22:11All right!
22:12This chair weighs a ton!
22:19I want my wife, not some chair!
22:21She's closer than you think!
22:24She sure is!
22:25And I carried her all the way
22:27from the skill sultan's fortress!
22:29That's her?
22:30Yes!
22:33Watch this!
22:37My queen!
22:38My love, I'm so glad you're home!
22:45Goodbye!
22:46The king and queen had been reunited,
22:48and the Skull Sultan had been returned
22:50to his home with Xia Yang.
22:52And so, the four companions were able
22:55to set out once more
22:56on their journey to the west.
23:08Thank you for being here!
23:17I think you're welcome!
23:27Bye!
23:31Bye!
23:35Bye!
