A monkey with godly powers learns arrogance the hard way, and the 1960 animation holds up because Tezuka's studio knew how to make movement actually mean something. The American dub doesn't feel like a translation, it feels like the movie was always meant to sound like that, with Jonathan Winters riffing on a character that deserves the irreverence. Watch this and you understand why Dragon Ball exists, and why Journey to the West keeps getting remade, and why a story about a cocky immortal learning humility never gets old.

A young, brave monkey wins over the rest of his kind and becomes their king, then learns magic and grows vain with his new status. Confidence swelling into arrogance, Alakazam ascends to heaven itself to challenge the gods. There he is beaten by King Amo and ordered to act as bodyguard to Prince Amat so that he can learn humility. Released in 1960, the animated fantasy adventure is a film version of Son-goku the Monkey with a new set of characters, built on a story and storyline supplied by Osamu Tezuka.
