The movie is actually based on the Novel/tv drama Journey to the West which I love to watch
The novel tells of a fictionalized and mythologized version of the Buddhist monk Xuanzang's (also named Tripitaka) pilgrimage to India in order to obtain religious texts called Sutras. In light of this quest called upon by the Bodhisattva Guan Yin, on instruction from the Gautama Buddha, the monk has been assigned three guardians or protectors in the form of disciples—namely
The monkey king Sun Wukong (孫悟空, also Monkey),
The pig-monster Zhu Bajie (豬八戒, also Pigsy),
The river demon Sha Wujing (沙悟淨, also Friar Sand).
Monkey, Pigsy and Sandy—together with a dragon prince who acts as Xuanzang's horse mount. All four characters have agreed to help the Buddhist monk as an atonement for past sins. The pilgrims undergo 81 calamities of all sorts before safely transporting the sutras from India to their place in capital Chang'an.
Part of the novel's enduring popularity comes from the fact that it works on multiple levels: it is an adventure story, a dispenser of spiritual insight, and an extended metaphor in which the group of pilgrims journeying toward India stands for the individual journeying toward enlightenment.
The movie however was with a comical twist, haliriously funny and the 2 kids were loving it... so was I
