"Most of us in real life are not Sun Wukong, but little monsters. Are ordinary people's stories not worth telling? As Little Piggy says: they can go seek the scriptures — so can we!"
— Chen Liaoyu, Supervising Producer / Art Director of the animated film Nobody, the Little Monsters of Langlang Mountain

"If you have ever felt small, exhausted or out of place, then please don't rush to please the world. Open this book first, and with the little monsters, become the version of yourself you like best."
— Li Zao, Chief Producer / Planner of the animated film

"So, finally a work has satisfied my curiosity. All along I have been thinking about these marginal characters, and today this work takes a very familiar subject yet expresses the story from a refreshingly original angle, which moved me deeply."
— Zhang Mo, Director (post-screening recommendation)

"Funny and moving — I could bring my son to watch it again. In life, you still have to live the way you like best."
— Huang Xiaoming, renowned actor (remarks at the premiere)

"I especially love the Chinese aesthetics, the romantic story, and the defiant fighting spirit of the characters in Nobody, the Little Monsters of Langlang Mountain — they brought tears to my eyes."
— Zhou Dongyu, renowned actor (remarks at the premiere)

"Today I saw a film that had the two of us cackling with laughter again and again within a single minute. I was truly moved — I saw my own reflection, and the way each of us ventures out into the world."
— Ayanga, musical actor and singer (remarks at the premiere)

★ Little Piggy refuses to accept his lot: if the Tang Monk and his disciples can journey to the West for the scriptures, why can't a nobody little demon form his own team and try his luck? After offending the king and being forced to leave Langlang Mountain, he rallies the timid Toad Sprite, the socially anxious Gorilla Monster, and the chatty Weasel Sprite into a grassroots scripture-seeking crew, and sets off on an absurd yet rousing journey to the West.

A sequel has been officially announced for release around 2029!
★ The empty promises, burnout and KPI nightmares inside the King's cave are the very daily grind every worker knows too well. Four makeshift grassroots little demons, one westward adventure they know is doomed. Most of us will never become the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, but in our own lives, everyone can live as a hero of their own.
