Anime VHS Momotaro Umi no Shinpei

Product description ※Please note that product information is not in full comprehensive meaning because of the machine translation.

Seno Mitsuyo, who studied under Kenzo Masaoka, who pioneered domestic animation, produced this work at the request of the then Ministry of Navy after joining the Shochiku Video Research Institute where Masaoka is. He spent more than one year and two months to complete a long work that lasted more than an hour.

The content is aimed at promoting the victory of the Navy parachute unit that attacked Palembang in Sumatra, and it depicts Momotaro and his animals as the Japanese army and the ogres in Onigashima as the enemy army.
However, humorous expressions unique to animation are included everywhere, such as the pastoral scenery depicted in the first half, and the peaceful singing scene with animals in the southern island and monkeys, pheasants and dogs, which teach songs to them.
