The_Monk_&_The_Monkey_Short_Animated_Film

The Monk & The Monkey is an animated moral fable, that has something for both casual viewers as well as hardcore animation fans. The film is a visually arresting piece, with its bright, pleasing colors, and terrific animation.

The story of the film is quite simple. Ragu, an excitable, but determined lad, is on a quest to become a monk. His final task given to him by his master, though seemingly trivial at first, soon puts him at his wit’s end. Whether Ragu becomes a monk or fails in his mission, forms the crux of this tale.
