  • The first section of Monkey becoming an unstoppable immortal is fantastic; but the actual Journey to the West seriously ebbs and flows
  • Tripitaka stop crying at any possible inconvenience challenge (impossible)
  • Still fuming that Sandy doesn't get to do anything despite having the coolest design concept

A nice summary of the beginning and end of Journey to the West, but a lot of the actual journey was cut out. Still gets the idea across and retains the original's charm!
