It’s essentially all my childhood fantasies and cultural influences (monkey, any classic Hong Kong martial arts movie) rolled into some of my favourite movies as a parent (Kung Fu Panda) and a bin load of my favourite magical realism stuff too (Crouching Tiger, Shaolin Soccer and more).
The visuals, the fighting styles and choreography, and the dialogue (the delivery) just seem to perfectly cherry pick from all of those influences.
I’m very much up for this.
