While a group of monkeys were playing in the forest, the Blue Monkey looked up and saw the round, bright moon, dreaming of possessing it. He whistled to gather everyone, and they tried to reach the moon by linking bamboo poles together. However, no matter how long they extended the poles, the moon remained high above. When the Yellow Monkey spotted the moon's reflection in a well water, he excitedly whistled to call the others. The Blue Monkey scratched his head and came up with another plan. The monkeys then hung upside down one after another, trying to scoop the moon from the well. Just as they finally managed to scoop the moon into a basin, they began fighting over who should own it. As a result, the basin fell to the ground, and the moon "shattered" into pieces—truly embodying the saying, "fishing for the moon in the water, all in vain." It is worth mentioning that director Zhou Keqin, considering the psychological characteristics of children's viewing, adopted a style that is "simple, bright, lively, and interesting," along with monkey designs featuring Chinese folk ink-painting and "pulled-wool" techniques. This ensures that the animation still retains a strong sense of childlike charm even when viewed today.
