About This Movie

My Son Goku is quite a curious entry in the animation realm, blending family-friendly themes with a touch of fantasy. The story is rooted in the enchanting folklore of the Monkey King, where Son-Goku, born from stone, showcases these wild magical abilities. The pacing is a bit erratic; it starts with a chaotic rampage that grabs your attention before shifting gears when Buddha seals him away. The visuals have a charming hand-drawn quality that feels nostalgic, and the character designs are imaginative, if not slightly dated. The dynamic between Son-Goku and Sanzohoshi adds a layer of camaraderie amidst the looming threats they encounter. It’s one of those films that evokes a whimsical atmosphere, even if it doesn't always hit the mark.

Intriguing blend of folklore and fantasy elements.Hand-drawn visuals lend a nostalgic feel.Character dynamics create a charming atmosphere.
