Grab a Wuba of your own & go on a Monster Hunt! In 2015, a little radish created a massive phenomenon in China. The brainchild of respected animator Raman Hui (also known as "e; Father of Shrek"e;), Huba was brought to life in Monster Hunt by Emmy Award-winning special effects maestros. The little radish is the undisputed star of the big-budget family-friendly fantasy comedy, sharing the screen with the likes of Jing Boran ( Lost & Love), Bai Baihe ( The Stolen Years), Eric Tsang ( An Inspector Calls), Sandra Ng ( Mcdull, Me & My Mum), Wallace Chung ( The Continent) & Tang Wei ( The Golden Era) in a story inspired by a tale in Pu Songlings oft-adapted Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. Such is the charm & power of Wuba that Monster Hunt has definitively overtaken 2012s Lost in Thailand as Chinas biggest film of all time.
Life is simple in Yongning Village. So simple, in fact, that the uneasy truce between monsters & humans, who now live in relative peace after a warring period, hardly seems to be of concern. But danger & adventure arise where you least expect them to, & the little villages fortunes change when the pregnant queen of the monsters takes refuge there with her servants Zhugao (Eric Tsang) & Fat Ying (Sandra Ng) after a coup in their realm. A wild chase ensues when the queen looks to make a meal of bumbling villager Tianyin (Jing Boran), & somehow, the chase ends with Tianyin bearing the monster prince. Before he gets a chance to give birth to the prince, though, monster hunter Xiaolan (Bai Baihe) storms into Yongning, looking to capture the soon-to-be-born Wuba for a hefty bounty.
