* WeakButSkilled: Wukong is a variant of this. His actual powers might have been sealed away, but he's still a stone monkey born from absorbing the universe's energies for years and was good enough to fight all of Heaven's armies to a standstill, and so he's really only "weak" in relation to the Big Bad. Still, monkey cleverness offsets much of that handicap. Enhanced mooks coming at you and you don't have your golden cudgel? Gran a bamboo pole and go to town. Big Bad can shoot lasers at you and you can't? Pelt his throwing arm to throw off his aim, then get up close and engage in GoodOldFisticuffs.

''Monkey King: Hero Is Back'' is a 2015 CG-animated Chinese film from first-time director Tian Xiaoping. It is also the highest-grossing animated film released in China, surpassing ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda2''.
A retelling of the Chinese classic ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest'', the story follows the all-powerful Monkey King who once roamed freely between Heaven and Earth, but after angering the Gods, he was imprisoned within an ice cage deep within the mountains. 500 years later, monsters attack a small village and Jiang Liuer, a child flees to the mountains. Unknowingly, he releases the Monkey King, otherwise known as Sun Wukong from his curse. With the help and encouragement from this special child, Monkey King saves the village from the evil monsters.

!!Tropes:
* ArtShift: The scenes of Sun Wukong rebelling against Heaven uses a simpler art style than the rest of the film.
* BadassGrandpa: Fa Ming.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Wukong to Liuer. He sets himself in between the dragon and Liuer, and scolds Liuer for endangering himself.
* CapturedSuperEntity: Sun Wukong is chained and encased in a crystal in a cave by Buddha for trashing heaven.
* CheerfulChild: Liuer.
* BadassAndChildDuo: Sun Wukong, the Monkey King who single-handedly defeated the entire military force of Heaven and was imprisoned for 500 years, and Liuer, a small, curious boy adopted by a monk.
* BadassCape: After [[spoiler: Sun Wukong's transformation]], he wears a long, red scarf-cape.
* BigEater: Pigsy, obviously.
* BreakingTheBonds: Sun Wukong during fighting the monsters off.
* ConstantlyCurious: Liuer to Sun Wukong.
* DragonRider: For a brief moment, Wukong on the dragon coming in to save the day.
* FutileHandReach: Sun Wukong [[spoiler: tries to grab Liuer and fails]], falling and leaving [[spoiler: him to be crushed by the rocks]].
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: In this case, a beautifully animated traditional Chinese dragon, Bai Long Ma (White Dragon Horse).
* OneManArmy: Granted, it is Sun Wukong.
* PowerLimiter: The remaining enchanted cuff on Wukong's right arm.
* SkywardScream: After [[spoiler: Jiang Liuer is presumed to be dead by Sun Wukong.]], Sun Wukong lets out one.
* TotalEclipseOfThePlot: During the first climax.
