This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Here is another favorite fairy tale that I love from Charles Perrault and also made into a wonderful anime film from 1969. I had ordered the DVD of this film and after watching it a few times, it became one of my favorite anime films; and also favorite animated literary film. There are a number of song-and-dance numbers, which to bonafide anime-fans think they'd sound a little Disney-fied. But I kind of like those numbers.I have added Princess Rosa to my list of Non-Disney Princesses and I think she certainly fits the part nicely. Overall this film is wonderful fairy-tale fantasy and a must-have for anime fans like me.
Fabulous wide screen cartoon feature from the days before Manga and anime had entered common our toon speak. This one was particularly imposing in it's first generation colour with the Japanese track.Don't expect too much connection to the fairy tale we had thrust on us as kids but the chase down the spiraling INSIDE of the mountain remains printed in the memory after thousands of cheapo kiddie toons have faded. This one comes from the days of the first Astro Boy series and while it has a style and imagery of it's own, it's not hard to imagine the people who did them downing tea and other substances together out of hours. Note Hayao Miyazaki's credit here. It would be particularly interesting to get to see a collection of his work from this period.
"I've got you and you've got me and that's between the two of us..."I saw this version of the Puss in Boots tale some 20 years ago. Still can't get the damn song out of my head!For some reason I still find this version the best of them all. Beats the hell out of anything I can imagine The House the Mouse Built doing...Anybody have a DVD copy for region 4 available??
Never in thirty years has it retained the sheer brilliance of animation and crisp wonderful colors! This is a "must get" and "must see" for hardcore collectors of Japanimation cinema, but it's just too hard to find these days as one may not discover its secret history. The experience is best compared to those imported afternoon cartoon shows of the 80s. While it tells the real PUSS 'N BOOTS story, the magic is in the style of humorous expressions and nicely written songs. This may not appeal to every boy or girl due to its Japanese flair, but it does entertain solid. Rarity is what makes this special. Released by Media under the generic PUSS 'N BOOTS title, and hidden somewhere in your favorite video store.
