A New Take on an Old Chinese Classic: Monkeys and Gorillaz

By Shu Hung on August 1, 2008

Best known for their collaborative music project, Gorillaz‘s Jamie Hewlett and Damon Albarn have been commissioned by BBC Sports to create a short animated film for the upcoming Beijing Olympics. Based on the classic Chinese tale, “Journey to the West,” the new story is entitled “Journey to the East” and features a more modern-looking Monkey King, who must travel on a cloud to the newly opened Bird’s Nest.
