A Peking/Beijing Opera (京劇 = Jingju - lit. “Captial-Opera”) Adaptation of Chapters 3 - 7 (aka, the "Havoc/Uproar in Heaven" Arc) from The Famous 1592 ShenMo (神魔 - lit. "Deities & Monsters") Novel, Xiyouji (西遊記 - lit. "West-Journey-Record"), famously known in English as Journey to the West!
#Xiyouji #西遊記 #JttW #JourneytotheWest #京劇 #PekingOpera
I think My Favorite Thing about the Wan Brothers' #大鬧天宮 (1961-1964) is how well it adapts the Style & Music of Peking Opera into Animation! Also, Sun Wukong being a Chaotic Grandpa like in the 1592 Novel...
