Golden Monkey

animated sitcom-series

2005 (pilot)

Written from an idea by Péter Kalmár
István Tasnádi - László Alpári - András Jeli

If we were to try to visualise the genre classification of the 25-minute-per-episode Golden Monkey, we would have to cram Monty Python's Absurd Universe, the never-ending twists and turns of the unpredictable David Lynch, and the grotesque underworld company of Tarantino and Guy Ritchie into the screen at the same time. Our series is quite eclectic, fresh, youthful, inspiring and fun.
In our story, an eccentric old billionaire uprooted to South America mysteriously falls off his racehorse Paprika and dies after a 1500m vertical drop, his will leaving his fabulous fortune to his relative, who can keep it open and running every day in his hometown for a full year... a Chinese fast food restaurant.
