Lego Monkie Kid: A Hero Is Born

First up, this is the best pilot I've seen. The animation throws crazy angles, creative expressions, and flawless action at you every 10 seconds. I legitimately don't think I've seen animation this good outside of movies.

And the plot, great introductions to all the characters (unlike say, the Ninjago pilot where its just Kai and Wu), highly unique premise despite the Journey to the west inspiration, and a great establishment of lore.

I simply don't see how anyone with good faith can give this a lower than 8 out of 10, maybe 7 out of 10 if they REALLY REALLY don't vibe with these types of shows.

If you love art this is definitely one to watch because the animation is so beautiful and fluid that you are bound to get hooked immediately. If you can get over the Lego hands.

For lego characters the facial expressions are amazing, they are incredibly expressive and hilarious.

The jokes are definitely aimed more for a millennial audience and there are plenty of background Easter eggs for anyone looking. So you will definitely want to look some of them up if you're of the younger generation.

There are plenty of lighthearted moments and some darker angsty bits but there is definitely never a dull moment.

Couldn't recommend this show enough, it needs all the love it can get!

Based special, plain and simple. The pilot episode of Monkie Kid is about drive, it's about power, they stay hungry, they devour the Yeezys off of the store shelves to get stronger since the rarer the item, the more powerful DBK becomes.

This show is amazing if you someone un interested in the animation, the voice acting is jaw dropping especially for the character Macaque (Rip Billy Kametz) There are ten 11 minute episodes to season 1 and the two "movies" are both just 40 minute special episodes. The first one is technically a pilot of sorts which takes place before the first season, it's called Monkie Kid: A Hero is Born. The second 40 minute special is kind of a kick off to season 2, Monkie Kid: Revenge of the Spider Queen.

These are lovable characters with so much heart, you get very attached to them and surprisingly the villians as well. I recommend this show for all ages!

Super cool and great! Love the story and the animation! Qi Xiaotian is super relatable to me with his clear anxiety and uncertainty in his future that he covers up with a bright grin. The character relationships are great, even with all the mystery surrounding Sun Wukong's past relationships, and my top favorite has to be the friendship between Qi Xiaotian, Long Xiaojiao, and Red Son (dubbed the Traffic Light Trio). I really really wanna learn more about Chinese mythology thanks to this series! This is more than I expected from something meant to sell toys.

In short, give it a watch! You won't regret it!

(Also buy the LEGOs. They look really cool.)
