Now, this film may be 51-years-old, but it is well worth the time! That is... as long as you bear in mind that it is a kids film. Even so, the plot, although parts have been used a lot now, is actually very unique if you consider when it came out. The visuals are about what you would expect... it is clunky and simplistic, but lovable all at the same time. I guess that lovable side comes from the fact that Hayao Miyazaki was one of the key animators. The audio, as was all audio in anime in 1969, was a little crackly and makes it clearjust how old this movie really is.
