Monkey King: Hero Is Back (2015)

The all-powerful Monkey King once roamed freely between Heaven and Earth, but after angering the Gods, he was imprisoned within an ice cage deep within the mountains. 500 years later, monsters attack a small village and a child flees to the mountains. Unknowingly, the child releases the Monkey King from his curse. With the help and encouragement from this special child, Monkey King saves the village from the evil monsters.

In Monkey King: Hero Is Back, consciousness is carried by animals — a plane of “mythic monkey realm”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing power, rebellion, faith, tradition.
