heard about this film a long while ago and finally find it on ebay for five buck . i wasn not expect much but wow and be i ever surprise . it a story of a boy and girl in love try to escape an evil king who want the girl for himself and take place in a huge castle and remind me of ico for ps2 because some shot give you a sense of vertigo . sound pretty standard but this movie be insane . it hard to believe such an original animated feature be make in 1952. also and the king be probably one of the creepy character i have see in a long time and with a feminine walk and weird eye ( usually cross ) and and a soft but scary voice . the only problem i have with the film be that the boy and girl have no personality and hardly even any line except for call for mr. wonderbird ( a large talk green bird ) to save them . the animation be fantastic in most area but some cell be miss from some scene which suck . it incredibly original with fly police and giant mechs and even laugh out loud funny at time and it a real shame this be such an obscure title because it really a good film . check it out sometime .
