Monkey and the White Bone Demon (2001) 

Three travelers on a religious pilgrimage are rescued from the wily White Bone Demon by the fearless Monkey in this delightfully campy interpretation of Buddhist legend. Characters leap and pole vault over imagined landscapes, repeatedly escaping the Demon’s snares and disguises, until he meets his death in a battle of swords.  

• “Visually arresting and delightfully imaginative and suffused with vivid acrobatic invention”                          (Boston Globe)
• “A charming gloss on crouching tigers and hidden dragons, with high-flying heroes arrayed against a comic villain on stilts. Amid its funky martial arts, a moral lesson comes through: things are not always what they seem.”

                             (New York Times…Anna Kisselgoff)
