Nostalgia
This is pure, distilled nostaglia for me. Haven't seen it for years, but have, in the meantime, read Wu Ch'eng-en's stories on which it is based. I was pleasantly surprised to see how faithful the translation is to the original stories. Although I'd usually tear of lumps off my flesh than watch anything dubbed, the energetic performances of the cast(s), and the faithful rendition of this tradtional Chinese story overcame my natural distaste. Plus, of course, it's nice to have little bits of my childhood brought back so vivdly.

At any rate, it’s obvious that screenwriter John Fusco and director Rob Minkoff share an affection for what Variety used to call “chop... Read more
