The Monkey King Review: A Misfire For Netflix Animation

A Netflix animated movie you can skip.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Editor's note: This piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the movie being covered here wouldn't exist.

Directed by Anthony Stacchi and set in China during a time in which people shared the world with mythological beings, The Monkey King begins as the titular character is mysteriously born from a rock on top of a mountain. In a universe that thrives on cosmic order, overseen by the Immortals in Heaven, the little monkey is right away a sign of trouble, and the Jade Emperor wishes to do away with him.

This all occurs in the first 15 minutes, and in that time, the Monkey King's core motivation is clear. The rest of the film only pays lip-service to that emotional thread. The Monkey King is a mighty, arrogant creature, whose primary modes of engagement seem to be mockery and battle.
