Directed by Liu Yuling and Destin Cretton and starring Wang Ben, Yang Ziqiong, Yang Yaen, Daniel Wu, Huang Jinghan, Guan Jiwei, Liu Jing, Sydney Taylor and Xu Weilun, A Chinese Odyssey was launched in Disney+on May 24th, 2023.

Although the play has the title of The Journey to the West, it is actually a story of a teenager growing up. The play is adapted from the cartoon of the same name created by Yang Jinlun, and tells the story of an ordinary teenager trying to adapt to his high school life and immigrant family life. When he met a new foreign student in the first year of high school, more worlds collided, and Wang Jin was involved in a fairy war in China mythology.

Evaluation of Journey to the West ABC

From the perspective of Journey to the West, it is obvious that the screenwriter of the play is not familiar with China's Journey to the West, and he doesn't know enough about many fairy characters in this novel. Therefore, there are many Zhang Guan Dai Li in the story of Journey to the West ABC. For domestic audiences, these contents are mostly farce.

On the other hand, ABC in The Journey to the West is more valuable. It takes care of the campus life of middle school students in China. In the previous American TV series, there were many TV series with the theme of youth campus, which were aimed at the inner world of adolescent children and their demands for the world in line with their age groups. In this kind of TV series, we can see the enthusiasm and tolerance of children, and we can also see their restless side.
