Monkey (1978-80). Monkey Says Relax.

#monkey #monkeymagic #godiego #journeytothewest Stam Fine Reviews Monkey (Saiyuki), also known by some people as 'Monkey Magic.' A late 70's live-action Japanese take on a Chinese story about a trip to India dubbed into English and shown as a kid's show in the UK, Europe and Australia (among other places). Monkey recounts the adventure of the Monkey King as he and fellow pilgrims- Tripitaka, Pigsy, and Sandy- travel to India to fetch some holy scriptures. Lots of hijinks, and martial arts action ensues as they encounter monsters and demons along the way. Journey to the West is a story that's been adapted many times, but for some people of a certain age and in certain counties, etc, this late 70's Japanese live-action series was one that all others are measured by. "Yeah, but it's no Monkey Magic." As mentioned in the video, here's an archival clip looking out at another series- The Water Margin- as it was dubbed into English by a lot of the same people who would later work on Monkey using the same methodology. /watch/gegrRlLZE0LZr 0:00 Introduction 0:42 Monkey Magic 3:23 Tripitaka 3:46 Sandy 4:18 Pigsy 4:55 Monkey 7:26 Yu Lung/ Dragon/ The Horse 9:26 Episodes 13:05 Journey to the West 14:00 Saiyuki 15:35 English Version 16:04 The "Missing" Episodes 18:04 English Version Voice Cast 19:39 Music by Godiego 21:06 Enduring Popularity 23:00 Summary
