Journey to the West is one of the four classical novels in China. Chinese people like the story very much. There are many TV plays and movies based on(根据) it in China. In fact, since China opened up to the world, more and more people have shown their interest in the Monkey King. Some Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea have also made movies based on him.
Now it’s time for Hollywood to take action. They have turned their eyes to traditional Chinese stories. Several years ago, director(导演) Barry Cook changed the story of Hua Mulan into a cartoon film Mulan. It was the first time for Hollywood to choose traditional Chinese stories to make cartoon films. And it was successful. Now Mr. Cook is working with Chinese and South Korean film-makers to make a 3D cartoon film KONG.
Mr. Cook said the Monkey King was a superhero like Superman and Ironman. However, he noticed he was different from American superheroes, “The Monkey King has a strong personality(个性).”

【推荐2】For most Chinese people, their knowledge of Ne Zha comes from the 1986 TV series Journey to the West, as well as the 2003 cartoon The Legend of Ne Zha. The stories of Ne Zha are told in different ways in different times.
In the new cartoon film, Ne Zha has scary and crooked (歪斜的) teeth. There are heavy dark circles under his eyes. Most people feel shocked to see his looks—being strange and kind of ugly. Anyway, he is considered to be cool, smart and humorous. Ne Zha is born as a demon (恶魔) by mistake. But he believes that he can choose to be a demon or a god. He tries his best to fight against the misunderstanding of him. Another character, the Dragon King’s third son, is born as a god. However, he does something bad.

And Ne Zha’s mother is described as a working mom but she tries to find more time to care for and play with her son.
