(comment) It is one of the experimental anime series produced in 1964 by Tezuka Production Anime, for which Tezuka Osamu worked on the original draft, composition, direction, and animation, and the story progresses with music and character movements without any dialogue. At the beginning of the story, there is a very fantasy scene where a fantasy-loving boy meets and plays with a mermaid, but in the country where the boy lives, fantasies are not allowed, and no one believes in the existence of a mermaid. How does the story of a boy who is given a terrifying correctional education and tries to take away his fantasies come to an end? It is an 8-minute short anime, but the power of fantasy and the fear of a management society are depicted in Tezuka's style. The background matches in the scene where a boy saves a fish that was washed up on the beach and meets it in a different way from a mermaid. |
