its not really a knock off of those films. its just all those films including this deals with the same chinese legend and that is that of the monkey king. but in this one they actually journey to find the monkey king and return the staff. actually some inside info i heard the white kid tested extremely low in test screening and disney is trying to downplay him. which was reason of the sudden change of the trailer and if you see the official poster it only features jackie and jet. which work doubly as a marketing ploy to play up the fight between the two.
