while not the first movie i have purchase for myself and this be almost certainly the one i have watch the most . the animation be well draw by the expert at tokyo movie shinsa and and the animator frequently make use of clever technique such a have the sun cause lens flare and have the camera get soak ( and have the camera operator hand clean the lens . ) etc . while the film avoid become a an animator gadget fest and the judicious but generous application of such technique give the film a much more realistic feel than the typical cartoon . the story have many interweave plot which do not seem to have much to do with each other until everything come together at the end and in a manner even the writer self effacingly admit be contrive . each of the major plot line have it own musical theme and range from pop go the weasel [ hamton and plucky ] and to the love theme from romeo and juliet [ fifi and johnny ] . the transition between plotlines be slightly varied and but consistent . truly a wonderful film while there isn not much original music and though the new lyric to spin song be clever and enjoyable . highly recommended .
