Netflix released a new trailer for their upcoming animated feature, The Monkey King. The film, directed by Anthony Stacchi (The Boxtrolls, Open Season), follows a rebellious and charismatic Monkey and his magical fighting Stick on an epic quest for victory over 100 demons, an eccentric Dragon King, and Monkey’s greatest foe of all —his own ego! Along the way, a young village girl challenges his self-centered attitude and shows him that even the smallest pebble can have a big effect on the world. The film premieres August 18.
