Saturday Morning Cartoons: Uproar in Heaven
September 16, 2017 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
Uproar in Heaven
China, 1964 (114 minutes)
September 16th
Uproar in Heaven tells the well-worn tale of the Monkey King, and is arguably the pinnacle of Chinese animation in the 1960’s. Based on a novel published in the 16th century called “Journey to the West”, attributed to the Chinese novelist and poet of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Cheng’en, this snappy film borrows from the visual and tonal style of Chinese Opera. With a colorful cast and heavenly voice acting, this recently-remastered film is a true gem!
