It's supposed to be based on the traditional Chinese story "Journey to the West."
I admit I've never read the book myself, but watching this makes me want to.
-
one of the best monkey king animation and imitation ever.
-
i loved this when i saw it first time round, but have studied Bejing Opera and watched the Jingju versions of this story, i love it all the more
-
I knew it! I thought from the style that it was the gorillaz people. :) beautiful animation, I can't stop watching it.
-
Every day from 8th August 2008 to 24th august 2008 that was my favourite song to hear because I didn't have to stop watching the olympic action!

@iranu21 The Monkey king is from a very old novel called "Journey to The West"
sheesh
-
Isn't this just an animated rip off of Monkey Magic from the 80s? Nice animation style though
-

BBC Sports Olympics 2008- Monkey titles (short version)by dunkley200613,772 views
Actually, it's not that random.
The monkey and the pig are a traditional Chinese story (they made a TV show of it in the '70s, called "Monkey" in English). The monkey riding on the cloud is all part of the traditional mythological stories.
And if you notice, they've subtly weaved hints at various Olympic sports into their adventures - the pig is doing the hurdles, then he tries to pole vault the gap, monkey throws his stick like a javelin, etc.
It's very creative.
