It all starts with a banana…
Come join the Monkey King on an unexpected underwater adventure!

The Story
On Mount Huaguo, a group of little monkeys fight over a banana. An old monkey teaches them an important lesson: sharing is better than keeping everything for yourself.
But the trouble does not stop there. To protect his friends and their home, the Monkey King dives into the magical Crystal Palace to find a powerful weapon. As he enters the underwater world, the ocean roars and the Crystal Palace glows in the dark. What will he find there—treasure or trouble? Step by step, he explores this mysterious place, and the adventure unfolds.
