I actually was fortunate enough to have seen the Monkey King thing live when I went back to Taiwan in 2005. It was performed as part of the puppetry festival, though most of the festival focuses on Taiwanese glove and TV puppets, rather than shadow puppets. I found it to be a very interesting take on shadow puppets, bringing a different dimension that is zooming/scaling. I haven't seen shadow puppets done that way before. Oh, and we were quite amused by how whiny the monk (the master of Monkey King) is all the time. This is cool.
