Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for anyone curious about anime and people who still love a bit of magic. A good one for when you want to be swept off somewhere else.
- The mood
- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Lively and easy to follow, at 5 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.

A cut-out animation adaptation of the classic novel "Journey to the West."
