In Chinese folklore, a "Yao" is an animal spirit. A wild young pig Yao from Langlang Mountain dreams of joining the King's Cave, but after offending the King, he has no choice but to leave Langlang Mountain. He then teams up with his friends, namely the Toad Yao, Weasel Yao, and Orangutan Yao, to form a "grassroots scripture-seeking group." They disguise themselves as Monk Tang and his disciples, hurrying to the Western Paradise to fetch the sacred Buddhist scriptures ahead of the real pilgrim team. Along the way, they go through absurd adventures, each achieving their own growth and finally gaining the "true scriptures" that belong to themselves.

Mingzhi Zeng Love the story, and the art style is in its own league Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/25/25 Full Review JZ It is a nice anime, filled with dark humor. Little kids may not get the points but adults would enjoy this thoroughly Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/20/25 Full Review Mr Bear Absolutely fun movie, though one may need deeper understanding on the Chinese work-culture and Journey to the West to get some of the references. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/18/25 Full Review valleyman Story retelling is in vogue. But Nobody ("Little Devil's of Lang Lang Mountain") to Journey to the West is not your Frasier to Cheers. It is not even 2024 Matlock to 2025 Matlock. Or your CSI:Miami to (yet to come) CSI:Southbend. While hilarious, it is not really your Galaxy Quest to Star Trek, either. This is a serious movie. It is a heroic story about a group of powerless bad guys in seek of enlightenment in the shadow of a Chinese classic recited by every village balladist they meet. While Guardians of the Galaxy also collects a band of misfits, you would be wrong to skip this one because not every hero wins. The final reveal in Nobody is profound! Aside from tight story-telling, Nobody features beautiful artwork and funny dialogues. With subtitle, language barrier is not significant, although it definitely helps enjoyment if you know common troves in Journey to the West. (The main points are explained so don't be worried if you do not.) Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/15/25 Full Review LEAH Y It’s a truly outstanding animated film with a beautiful core message and rich metaphors — it’ll make you laugh and cry, and it’s absolutely worth watching. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/14/25 Full Review Anthony C superb movie with great plot! fun and thoughtful. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/13/25 Full Review Read all reviews
