This summer, Chinese mythology gets a comedic makeover as animated film Nobody reimagines the timeless tale of Journey to the West through the eyes of four mischievous yaoguai. Slated for release on August 2, the film follows these supernatural underdogs from Langlang Mountain as they accidentally impersonate Tang Sanzang and his disciples, sparking a chaotic quest for sacred scriptures.
Produced by a team of visionary animators, Nobody blends slapstick humor with stunning visuals inspired by classical Chinese art. CGTN’s exclusive mini-documentary offers a rare glimpse into the film’s creative process, showcasing how modern technology revitalizes ancient folklore for global audiences.
