monkey bee short film from monkey: journey to the west (by jaime hewlett x damon albarn)

"After a phenomenally successful run wowing audiences and critics in Manchester, Paris, Charleston and the Royal Opera House Monkey now finds a new home in London as the production roars its way to the 02 for its next incredible outing." [via]

The "Monkey" mentioned above is the character from the stage-musical MONKEY: JOURNEY TO THE WEST [www / wiki] - adapted from the classic 16th Century Chinese folklore - now co-created by illustrator Jamie Hewlett and musician Damon Albarn ("GORILLAZ", anyone?). "MONKEY BEE" is the first single from the new album and the above is the stunning short-film to promote it (Widescreen Version) ... or rather, the dudes have taken over YouTube?
