VOD news brings you the best news of the week on Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, HBO Max, Netflix… And it shows that we are in the middle of August, because the offer of the main platforms streaming it’s fair. For this reason, among other things, we emphasize monkey king.

Netflix

The truth is that Netflix, as almost always, comes with a lot of original or exclusive things on its account, although it also sins against the usual, and that is that almost everything is garbage. Not only that. They didn’t even bother to promote (Hello, Netflix Spain? How about making an effort to post a crappy trailer on YouTube?) the most relevant a priori, so… Say hello monkey king.

monkey king

monkey king is, as you can imagine if you have a bit of geek culture, a new adaptation of a Chinese legend, derived from the work The road to the west upon which numerous stories in the Asian world and beyond were based. Most famous, very dragon ball. what monkey king at hand is nothing more and nothing less than a new Netflix animated film that has its own.

To start, monkey king It’s news from the director Colleagues in the forestalso signing the script together with the screenwriter Little chicken. However, the film’s technical production is entirely Chinese, carried out by Pearl Studio, best known for being responsible for titles such as Disgusting, We Are Bears: The Movie or any of the deliveries, including series, of Kung Fu Panda.

However, all of the above means nothing. I did not have the opportunity to see the film, so I cannot comment on the result The Monkey King; although the trailer it doesn’t assume a large art section or animation worth mentioning. Specialist critics seem to be divided between those who approve and disapprove, with a slight advantage for the former, which is usually optimistic for the viewer.

Why emphasize it? For many reasons. First, that a good animated film is better than ordinary bodriaco, even if it stars big celluloid “stars”; second, that this week’s offering is at least regular; and thirdly, that sometimes Netflix gives a bell with its animated bets, and with exceptions it is recognized late, see example sea ​​monsterwith which I settle the outstanding debt.

Of course I don’t know if monkey king It will be worth it since Netflix has several titles from Chinese animation and almost all of them tend to be considered remakes of the American ones, but it costs little to check it out… if you have a Netflix account, go for it. Just in case, here it is. And while we’re at it, if you like the theme, don’t miss it New Legends of the Monkeythe cutest and funniest live-action Netflix series.

Without further ado, here is the trailer monkey king (via Netflix Latin America, which seems to work a bit more, but don’t panic, it’s composed for this side of the pond too).
