[TheRainbowSpade]

is there a longer version of this song somewhere? I love it so much!

[countryboy3344]

i can hear clint eastwood in it so.. that may be why. just slightly though.

[Kakashifan1991new]

The Monkey is Goku from DBZ o0

[StitchedAlive]

Oh! OH!! This is like the old Asian "Journey to the west" story! I think the monkeys name is Sengoku or something like it..........

[cokecolarulein2012]

i just had the most major goose bumps ever

[freefrageris]

monkey looks like goku !!! :DDDDD

[YKKproductions]

Monkey: Journey To The West

[DJErrn]

Well it may not be Gorrillaz but Its a Film by Jamie Hewlett and the Music is Produced by Damon Albarn I Believe, it depends if you feel side projects are related or not, but if you ask me that's another debate.

[caseyK237]

this was made on my 8th birthday :D

[Gh0sttaskforce141]

Will everybody SHUT THE FUCK UP I DON'T GIVE A FUCK WHO MADE THIS OK I KNOW WHO MADE THIS ALRIGHT SO STOP FUCKING REPLYING MY FUCKING COMMENT SON OF A BITCH!!!! =(

[TheFantasticBagMan]

@Gh0sttaskforce141 ....

It was done by the same guy.

TROLOLOLOL.

[viperattack100]

No relation to gorillaz whatsoever!

[PhysXProg]

Jamie Hewlett is the artist

[Blackhydra10]

Monkey = 2D

Pig = Russel

Lady = Noodle

Man = Murdoc

[Gh0sttaskforce141]

Will everybody just stop emailing me the person who drew this I got it the first comment.

[amazingmason34]

Its the same animator as gorrilaz, pretty obvious.

[miasaki666]

Oh MAN! One of my favorite stories as a child(Journey to the West) as depicted (partially) by one of my favorite artists! (Hewlett)

[leeamo1]

@miasaki666 I thought he made the original :o

[miasaki666]

@leeamo1 wot do you mean?

[burrosplayer44]

I'm so confused by life now

[BAMinabox]

What did I tell you about trippin on acid, Noodles?!

[leeamo1]

@BAMinabox Noodle*

[BAMinabox]

@leeamo1 my bad lol

[PanndaKat]

Reminds me of journey to the west?

[CalamityM]

And the nature of monkey was: IRREPRESSIVE!!!

[Gh0sttaskforce141]

How the hell is this related to GoRiLLaZ.

[mrmedajose]

@Gh0sttaskforce141 Because this is drawed by Jami Hewlett and if tou don't know he' s the one who draws Gorillaz. And as you can see there are four character joined up by a girl. All of them are symbolism with Gorillaz and if you haven't readed the Gorillaz book "Rise of the Ogre" you should read it.

[piwiwito]

@Gh0sttaskforce141 the draw and art work was made by the guy who create gorillaz

[9000Smarties]

@Gh0sttaskforce141 Jamie Hewlett

[TheWAHTShowTV]

@Gh0sttaskforce141 This is monkey travel to west, an opera with music written by damon albarn and animetion by jamie hewlett

[TheWAHTShowTV]

@Gh0sttaskforce141 @Gh0sttaskforce141 This is Monkey Journey to the West music by Damon Albarn and animation by Jamie Hewlett (Gorillaz)

[xilent234]

@Gh0sttaskforce141 it's created by the same artist :)

[fazi185]

@xilent234 Jamie Hewlett is a beast <3

[wafflekitty11]

@Gh0sttaskforce141 Jamie Hewlett drew this and he also draws gorillaz.

[randomboostsuperguy]

well it looks like its the same animater

and it clearly has the same art style

[trainmaster718]

@Gh0sttaskforce141 Look up Monkey - Journey to the West

[SaulAlucardCrusadeHe]

@Gh0sttaskforce141 Maybe 'cause the characters looks like the integrants

[rachel25lee]

Gh0sttaskforce141, u'uh'nuh, but it's awesome.

[AppeMusic]

@Gh0sttaskforce141 technically the animator/designer of gorillaz ade comics when he was youger and this was one of his main comics, pretty much a monkey ninja

[rodongiving5]

@Gh0sttaskforce141 the drawer

[tootiredfilms]

@Gh0sttaskforce141 This is made by Damon Albarn who made Gorillaz and is the same artist, who draws Gorillaz. It's an interpretation of the ancient story, "Journey To The West." 

[Immortal1312]

@Gh0sttaskforce141 Damon Albarn created this as a new project

[GazelleDJ]

@Gh0sttaskforce141 It's the same animation artist.

[pguy203]

@Gh0sttaskforce141 The song and animation is done by the same guys :p

[EatMeMr]

@Gh0sttaskforce141 Dumbass.

[rockhellien]

[Ffish69Jr]

[Ffish69Jr]

[Benjy3634]

@Ffish69Jr It's made by the same people who are behind Gorillaz.

[TheAlbinoUnicorn333]

@Ffish69Jr It doesn't, but it's animated and stuff by the same people O:

[xXTheC0nv1ctXx]

@kataankoryu Yh. hold up let me listen. She has a funny accent and the beat gets in the way

[xXTheC0nv1ctXx]

@kataankoryu Mostly talking about, "there is hope." And she is talking about the adventure

[kataankoryu]

[vicky9279]

MIKE THE MONKEY!!!!!!!!

[karma756231]

but this is monkey not gorillaz wut?

[chainedsword]

@karma756231 yeah, not gorillaz. hahha. however, they are related in the fact that both were created by Jamie Hewlett, the artist and cocreator of the Gorillaz

[karma756231]

@chainedsword i knew that they were both jamie hewlett it is just dumb how some people can't tell the difference

[chainedsword]

@karma756231 indeed. I thought I could help clarify the correlation by pointing it out, but seems you've already got the whole gig in the bag ^^

[AnonBuddha]

lol i just about to go and eat Chinese

[Wiik117]

what the hell is this? somebody explain me please :P

[MadWolrdZ]

I LOVE how the Gorillaz just surprise's everyone in each video- I mean look at this!! You will never know what they will think of next- keeps you at the edge of your seats. That's why I love these guys- besides there AWESOME music they do. that's just a mother F--- bonus right there.

[MadWolrdZ]

[toukimumu]

@MadWolrdZ

This has nothing to do with Gorillaz, it's just an animation made by Jamie Hewlett for the Chinese Olympic games. Besides, Jamie Hewlett draws also for Gorillaz, but this ain't nothing to do about the band.

[KimmieCoKagome]

YAH!! I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE MONKEY KING!!! I was wondering if the Gorillaz would add him in ^_^

[chalups1991]

flying on a cloud is all dragonball haha

[IzzySpint]

@chalups1991 Actually dragon ball got the idea of flying on a cloud from the monkey king. the monkey king's name was Son Goku, hence why Goku in dragonball was called Goku and also why Goku had a tail, AND why he turned into a giant ape on a full moon. The monkey king is a very old Chinese story. You should read up on it, it's actually a really cool story : )

[EllyMcG33]

@memwe222 It's because Gorillaz and Monkey were created by Jamie Hewlett, so there is a connection. Although I agree.

[joby92]

i love 0:43 haha

[MemoryOfTheRose]

i love this video

[mrboothtv]

OMFG the nimbus cloud an goku's staff (i forget it's name) so this is that chinese tale that akira brings up in the 1st volume of dragonball!

[xemnas7777777]

The chinese legend of the Monkey-King

[LaddyTsunade]

I want this song on my I-pod! I love it !!!

[snickersarethebomb]

I want this song !

[snickersarethebomb]

AVATAR FLASHBACK WHEN IN ICE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[snickersarethebomb]

THAT MONKEY IS HOT !

[maliaris]

reminds me dragonball

[soveryangie]

lol i frikin LOVE this vid!!!!!!!!

[1123wilson]

Journey to the West you guys. Come on now.

[sexybeastx10]

they need to make a gorrilaz tv show that would be pimp thumbs up if ua gree

[ViolinsAndDrums]

Jamie is my inspiration.

[l3n5k1]

Is it Just Me Or Do Each Character Link To The Gorillaz in one Way or Another?

Monkey- 2D, I Mean Just Look At Him

The Pig - Russell, The Sloth Of The Group

The Old Man - Murdoc, The Oldest Yet Toughest

The Spirit - Noodle, Bringing The Group Toghether <3

[arescraft]

@l3n5k1

That's not a spirit. That is Guanyin, the bodhisattva associated with compassion in East Asian Buddhists belief.

Also the Old man is a General in Heaven who was punished for breaking a crystal Goblet so now he looks like a demon.

[2gokuisawesome]

@l3n5k1 it also links to dbz monkey =goku spirit =bulma old guy =master roshi pig =oolong

[LeapLittleLionMan]

@l3n5k1 The old man is green too :TT

[cheezball1998]

lol the beggining bit sound like clint east wood (when the girls sing)

[midoking56]

im going to ignore the fact that for the most part this is very irrelevant to the olympics

[Talliosauron]

@midoking56 It has everything to do with the olympics.

Watch closer and you'll see examples of; gymnastics, track and field, the javelin throw and swimming.

[HYPNOTISED114]

a pig with a rake,

a monkey on a cloud,

old man in a lake,

This sounds weird out loud :S

[TOxIcSPaRtaN234]

WTF??

[hiphoplivesthrume]

so i see aku is here :|

[ILOVESUPERWAFFLES]

aww cool jamie hewlett did this animation??

[TheColdFrontier]

At first I thought this was a video for their album Laika come home or whatever.

[0bsidianify]

Will people please stop comparing it to the gorillaz, i understand it was created by Jamie hewlett and damon albarn, and i have seen journey to the west, but there two completely different pieces of artwork. Both equally fantastic.. but still very different.

[kazbob24]

@0bsidianify yeah i thought when i saw this "this isnt gorillaz" but the art is jaimie hewlett :) i knows that

[TMCsyforceHUN]

WOW



[Buurg]

lol that pig is my favorite part of this video. I love the first facial expression he makes

[CallMeShirlie]

Wow, this is so incredibly trippy: JUST LIKE GORILLAZ! :D

[13lackfriday]

haha that freakin rocked...there definitely was some gorillaz to it...the monkey king's got some 2d and the mischievousness of murdoc, and the pig dude's got russell in shape, kung fu river god's got noodle power

[Flarekill]

@13lackfriday

Is any of them is Murdoc I think it's Pig -___-

2D would probably be Sanzang, but he's not in this video.

[FerreTrip]

Slick. Just so slick. Love it.

[tolkier]

Not sure what impressed me most: A journey to the west music video or that the whole thing was sang in chinese.

[OlieLuv93]

You are all idiots. This does have to do with Damon Albarn, he was working on some production about the Journey to the west, so produced the music and the other guy did the animation. In a way it has to do with gorillaz, same creators!!! This is just the promotion for the 08 Olympics. >.<

[lizziecarini]

yes! Go Sandy!

[jessimanga1]

Dragon Ball Z and Samurai Jack Much?

[MurdocLC]

@jessimanga1 Wha? I dont know about Samurai Jack but Dragon ball is based on the same chinese story as this about a monkey fighter and his extending staff and cloud.

[PrettyMarker]

i clicked this cus i saw a pig in the picture o.o

[douzillac]

wow! i remeber seeing this on tely and thinking wow! if it was made by jamie and damon i can understand why!

[Bomburitto]

This doesnt have anything to do with the gorillas, except the artist of the video was the same.

[dragoncan123]

thats goku from dragon ball hes the real monkey king!

[Sakaiti]

@dragoncan123 :/ Uhm... Dragon Ball is just loosely based on an old Chinese tale called Journey to the West... There's even other animes that follow it (and better, like Saiyuki) so it's Goku from Journey to the West, not Dragon Ball. ^^;

[jqmctwist900]

wow what an epic fail of a post, this is Monkey a Journey to the West, its a famous Chinese folk tale it has absolutely nothing to to with the Gorillaz its just the same artist, its a really amazing story though and u can get it super cheap on Amazon, i definitely recommend.

[TheDanHatter]

I'm just curious as to what the pig dude was eating

[Lochd999]

como se nota qe la musica es de damon...

el puto amo

[TheMaxieXD]

POw issu eh a historia do Goku...o macacu q zoava ateh Buda...Kaskka...muito bom!

[clackcat]

I was like Omfg the gorrilaz did that for the olympics

[Ferrymartyr]

pretty athletic pigs they have their

[CaptainPrice2000]

is that really the gorillaz???

[Rodita1]

No it's journy to the monkey. Noe Gorillaz. Just the same designer did the animation.

[theXoddXfox]

Do you mean Jamie Hewlett designed this, or Zombie Flesh Eaters, or both?...

D:

[NefariGO]

@rodita1 yes it is gorillaz.. it says on BBC site. Jamie hewlett animated and Damon alburn made the music :) you can tell anyway cause this is just epic, like gorillaz!

[zer0243]

@NefariGO No, that means it made by the same people who created Gorillaz. If Jhonen Vasquez made Invader Zim then made Johnny The Homicidal Maniac, that does not mean Johnny The Homicidal Maniac is Invader Zim.

[Callouisafuckinpussy]

@CaptainPrice2000 no they are MONKEY

[N4LA]

perfecta la participacion de gorillaz en los juegos olimpicos!!!

[jaystardragon]

WHAT IS THE SONG HERE?????

[PremonitionSociety]

it's fucking awesome right? :D

[StonerWaffle]

lol the monkey i bassically were they got the idea for goku lol jus sayin

[chakisensi]

the best ever

[marshubon]

gorillaz  rulez

[artsygirl96]

tjis is cool but how is this gorillaz?

[aelita909]

The actual people who are in the band made a soundtrack for this move Monkey: Journey To the West... one of their hit songs were Monkey Bee, which had something similar to this scene but in live action (:

[5karla5]

I guess because it's made by Jamie Hewlett, the guy who draws Gorillaz. But you're right, it has nothing to do with this.

[knup20]

mm.i like this

[Jamchanizhere]

Amen my Friend AMEN ^^

[KawaiiJewls]

(: iLove this heh
