WAhaha! :D

I just realized I have (at least portions of) three versions of Journey to the West: a few volumes of Saiyuki, a tape or two of Dragonball Z, and a moldy-oldy but very charming old vid which was re-cut and re-voiced in the '60s for the Western kid audience, "Alakazam the Great!" It's apparently a faithful cartoon version from China.

I remember seeing "Alakazam" when I was, oh, about three years old, on TV, early-early in the morning, all by myself. I was enraptured. I think this is where I got turned on to Eastern mysticism, seriously.

Western voices included Frankie Avalon as Monkey and Dodie Stevens as his girl. Also included Jonathan Winters and Sterling Holloway.

I just looked up the wiki, it's interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alakazam_the_Great .

My question is, how the hell did I end up with 3 versions of JttW? Oy!
