Fantástico.Este ova fue el antecesor de Dragon Ball XD....Esta es la magia del manga...n_n

[ritatti]

This work is quite irrelevant to Hayao Miyazaki.

[dibznsp]

i loved this movie where can i see it in english?

[Turtleheart]

@dibznsp From Discotek Media's DVD: it has choice of English dub and original Japanese audio and English subtitles. Should be available from most online sellers in North America if you search for "Taro the Dragon Boy;" it can be had for about $13, possibly less if you look through a number of them.

[nofrig]

This movie is so overlooked and it's a shame. It was my favorite movie in kindergarten.

[YubiShines]

Holy crap! I think this is the first anime I ever watched. I taped it and saw it over and over until the tape was glitchy and ruined.

[midnightmoon710]

haha same! ive been trying to remember the name but i forgot, im 22 now, but it was my favorite movie a loooooooooong time ago. ^~^

[itburnswheniphee]

to be released next spring of 1980

[Superbook4Eva]

I remember this movie very well! The English dubbed version had Billie Lou Watt as the voice of Taro. Is the DVD bilingual? I would love to see the movie in Japanese.

Oh, by the way... this was NOT a Miyazaki or Studio Ghibli film, in fact Studio Ghibli did not exist yet in 1979 when the movie was originally released in Japan. Toei Animation is the studio that made this - and interestingly, the film is called "Tatsu no Ko Taro" and one of Toei's rival studios is also called Tatsunoko...

[Onlyne]

I got to know this by accident, as well as the [Taro The Dragon Boy] video in the related list and found it a bit surprising. The dragon in this film looks almost like Spirited away's & when i watch [Taro The Dragon Boy] i even feel the music has sth similar to Haku's theme by Hisaishi ~.~

btw I know Miyazaki used to work at Toei but left around 1970, before the time this film released.

I just wonder if this film inspired Miyazaki, or sth during the time at Toei inspired him, or not... ^^

[Turtleheart]

@Superbook4Eva Yes, the Discotek one available in North America (and elsewhere on import if you can play region 1s) has the original audio and the old English dub and a choice of subtitles translating the former or transcribing the latter.

[StartlePixie]

Den to pisteuw....

I was a baby when i first saw that. But i remember the end clearly, like it was just yesterday.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting it!

[SpikeSpiegel2]

HEY, need to get this ;P

I have the full studio ghibli collection, and some more older ones. This looks like it is in the same epic ghibli feel. BTW the little norse prince is a collectors item, but it was pretty boring ;P

[Punisheryo]

Where can i find subtittles for this movie? please give me a link!!

[mizbelle]

I saw this as a kid and all I remember is being freaked out by it. I want to see it again!

[IanGillanN1]

[greekgerrard]

[Tamandrea2]

The best of the best

[itsok4me]

when I saw it about 16 years ago it was dubbed in english and I have been looking for it since. This is a wonderful movie. I have seen that you can buy it on amazon

[Turtleheart]

BUT you can get 'The Little Norse' in the UK and not the USA. Buying that is probably the only way of encouraging more classic animé such as this to be released.

[carolcristiano]

where can i find this video in engalnd?

[Turtleheart]

You can't. Not domestically, anyway. The only release outside of Japan that I know of is Discotheque Media's Region 1 DVD.

[Akirai]

i first heard of this movie when i was little my borther used to watch it and where we lived ... like they dont put much anime on tv anyways mom told me the story and now i find it here lol thats cool

[toolmantaylor]

I think I was in grade school the first and last time I saw this movie. Its a good one.

[EggYolk]

O,O wait this miyazaki shorts must see must see

[OnlyslightlyRetarded]

The first anime I ever saw. i still have the vhs for this

[Stafy]

Taro's a great movie. I had preordered two copies for my brother and I back in January I believe. I had not seen it in so long because my tape as ruined. I was so happy that it was released again, and even more pleased that I loved it as much now as I did in youth.
