shaneeca Posted May 23, 2004 at 11:54 PM Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 at 11:54 PM Thank heavens, I am NOT ALONE. More people here that loves a movie which is so wonderful, but totally impossible to get!! Unbelievable. If ANYONE knows WHERE I can get this movie, I prefer ORIGINAL language (Mandarin) with English Subtitles. Seen it twice on TV, somewhere around 1980. One time on Dutch TV, and one time on the BBC. I didn't have a VCR back then, and that's a damn pity. Haven't seen an animation movie that was better.... And I've seen quite a few in my lifetime. Please YELL if you know something. I've written the Chinese Embassy in the Netherlands to get a fax or e-mail address from the Shanghai Animation Film Studio. It's quite strange that they this movie isn't on DVD yet. sherill@lycos.nl I'm from Amsterdam/The Netherlands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laolee Posted August 11, 2004 at 06:24 PM Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 at 06:24 PM UPROAR IN HEAVEN - 2 DVDS, if anyone is still looking for it. 40th Anniversary Edition came out in July (Chinese subs only): http://us.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/pid-1003740310/code-c/version-cn/section-videos/did-106/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidh Posted August 16, 2004 at 09:45 PM Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 at 09:45 PM thanks, laolee, I'm still looking for it. Too bad it's just chinese subs, it would have been so easy for them to include english subtitles. But thanks anyway, I'll e-mail them a question when/if they expect an international release. nice DVD cover by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laolee Posted November 11, 2004 at 12:43 AM Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 at 12:43 AM I just watched this this week and really enjoyed, even without English subs. One thing, though, according to the bcdb.com entry, the original running time was 120 minutes, this version is about 85 minutes. Did not notice except the ending was possibly trimmed. Otherwise, fantastic! Another plus that I didn't realize is that the disc also includes the 1941 b/w film Princess Iron Fan about 75 minutes long. What a great unexpected bonus.

sfr@rcn.com Posted December 8, 2004 at 07:10 PM Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 at 07:10 PM I'm resurrecting this topic because I have the VCD set of the Shanghai Monkey King and the quality is horrible--blurry and dark. I saw it in Shanghai in the mid-Nineties and I know the quality is better than this. Someone commented that quality varies. I bought this from Chinasprout, which, one would think, would carry the best quality. I'm going to write them, although it's been about a year and a half (I think) since I bought it.

Outofin Posted August 16, 2005 at 04:53 PM Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 at 04:53 PM An old thread comes up again. The monkey's story is not merely an animated film a Swedish boy came cross in his childhood. He's very hot and even presents some key values of our culture. I'm making a new thread because I wrote it a little bit long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karenzita Posted January 24, 2006 at 05:00 PM Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 at 05:00 PM But I think I was the only one who had it! My father recorded it on BETAMAX (yes.. BETAMAX!) and I looooved that film. I saw it with the original sound and a narrator in spanish, but now im looking for it either in english or spanish, preferebly subtitled. I know nobody has posted anything in here for a few months, but if you have any information that might help me, that would be great! I think I'm the only person in Venezuela and maybe latinoamerica that has seen that movie, or at least still remembers about it. Thanks a lot for whatever help you may give me..

horas Posted January 24, 2006 at 09:01 PM Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 at 09:01 PM - FYI David, those cartoons are just episodes based from a classical Chinese novel (fantasy fiction) called 'Journey to the West' (Xi You Ji). Probably you should consider reading that novel (highly recommended). But I haven't succeeded in finding the complete (English) text online. http://www.chinapage.com/monkey/monkey.html http://www.monkeyheaven.com/books_literature.html http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/7119016636/103-8316348-8104664?v=glance&n=283155 - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunWukong Posted March 15, 2006 at 02:17 PM Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 at 02:17 PM What's the difference between the 1-disk and 2-disk DVD from dangdang.com? ie what's the additional material? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolip Posted March 15, 2006 at 03:44 PM Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 at 03:44 PM The 2-disc has some documentaries and... Princess Iron Fan (the first chinese animation ever, from 1941). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer99 Posted April 7, 2007 at 07:49 PM Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 at 07:49 PM you can now find a fan-subbed version with English subtitles here, http://www.kurotokagi.com Safe place to order from. I have bought several Japanese movies from that place. //Lucifer99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolip Posted April 8, 2007 at 11:37 AM Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 at 11:37 AM I'd say it's a safe bet that the fan-subbed DVD mentioned above uses the subtitles provided on my wiki (translated by a chinese guy, edited by me). I actually don't mind, but the price is outrageous. You can still get a DVD with English subtitles on http://asiandvdclub.org, so don't bother paying for it.

Lucifer99 Posted April 8, 2007 at 03:30 PM Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 at 03:30 PM Nope, new translation by his own translator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolip Posted April 8, 2007 at 11:20 PM Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 at 11:20 PM Really? It wouldn't happen to be your own work? Anyway, do you know what the source of the video is? Is it the 40th anniversary DVD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
