One of the coolest Cult Kids TV shows. A Japanese version of a Chinese folk tale dubbed into English, the folk tale was used to explain the virtues of the noble life.
Love it! It's pretty much cult in Australia, due to the numerous repeats on ABC and Arena during the 90's haha

Apparently the reason they cast an angelic faced girl was to show Tripitaka to be pure and chaste. I think this was quite common practice when the story was performed on stage as well. It's similar to the English custom of casting girls as Robin Hood or other heroes in pantomime.

Great inventive tv show. Remember this was originally shown on BBC2 years ago.
