Japanese Classic Cartoon(1947) 1/3

[frogisis]

So Bobby Hill was a small striped cat back in the '40s... Who knew?

[2Foxxy4U]

Their eyes are soulless and terrible. Still, I'd be lying if I said I didn't find it charming and sweet.

[lizzychan89]

I like the heavy Max Fleischer influence in this film.

ドラえもんの魔界大冒険の「チンカラリン」

[XxSceneMiKOxX]

KAWAII !

[portoportugal22]

We, Portuguese, did not only bring Western costumes to Japan in the 16th century, but the first guns they ever saw, as well. Decades later they used them to send us away.

[Sasuke006]

japanese anime style makes it unique

[pesterthefly]

This is a amazing animated short.

[lovawaai]

Simile allo stile Disney degli anni '40! WOWW

終戦後の黒澤の映画とか見ると、終戦後の貧しいときでも、心は豊­かだったことが分かる。

[lefredvoncarstein]

[zekeland]

Absolutely wonderful. Thanks for sharing this!

[killersushi99]

Christmas tree in Japan. Interesting. Mostly buddist society.

[DavBlc7]

@killersushi99 and also Shinto too! I thought Christmas belongs to Christians..

[CadetJack]

@DavBlc7  Christmas is celebrated in Japan and not just as a non-religeous holiday. The Portugese missionaries brought Christianity to Japan while Japan was still in a feudal state.

[alexandrabarbie1]

Why does that other little kitten trying to attack the abanoned one? :/

[Hookedoncollies]

She's jealous - haven't you ever had a little brother or sister?  ; )

[alexandrabarbie1]

I'm a only child :)

[NodnarbRS]

@Hookedoncollies no

[TaigaToraDora]

[Shoknifeman]

Too bad this isnt subtitled

[atari6bit]

open your mind. ;)

[Shoknifeman]

Well, that wont help be be fluent in Nihongo, will it? ;)

[Shoknifeman]

Cause id really love to know what was going on

[skatapoopy]

@atari6bit some of us ARE open minded, but can't learn the entire Japanese language in 2 hours!

[rioishikawa]

damnnnn think about it, all the animation at this time was done frame by frame, no modern animation techniques.

[donjabroni]

So this is what Japanese cartoon looked like before the whole "anime" style took over.

[GlitchySoftware]

Yes, I think this is better than today's

[scotlandcow]

ya, but i do like my anime :3

[jessevsm]

So, I do believe that it could be just coincidence between similarities. And the comment about the bombing of Japan.....I'm not even going to go there. That's just a narrow-minded thing to say is all.

But about the video, here. I really enjoyed it! It's nice to see some old ones that were nearly lost in the sands of time.

[jessevsm]

Overall, I have no doubt that Disney may get inspirations from certain places, but I can't say that they outright copy them. And the statement comparing the Lion King and the White Lion and Kimba and Simba... Yes, they are strikingly similar. But if you look up what the name 'Simba' Means, you might understand that it actually 'means' lion! I believe it's Swahili. Though, I could be wrong.

[jessevsm]

wow. I really liked this video! :) pretty interesting story, it seems. And definitely an older one. Though, I have to comment also on some of the other comments made that make no sense and do not pertain to the video at all. Like Disney copying characters from other places. I have to agree and disagree. Yes, there are similarities, but there are also many differences between the types of animation.

[lemonylimpe]

aww poor kitty

[Julian9ehp]

People, if you like something like this, publicize it. There were no notes for this on the Internet Movie Database, which means that outsiders like me are clueless about this good cartoon.

[MsGeek703]

They look like Puki kitty dolls. Definite Disney influence all over the place here.

[KucingKayap]

Many english inventions were stolen from the Japanese and other advanced nation at that time including China, Arabian countries etc. Thats why they bombed Japan to make the US seemed mastery in everything.. and it is still happening in the world today. The whites are trying to gain supremacy.

[Cambodia69]

Don't even mention Disney who claimed that similarities between Kimba the White Lion and The Lion King were coincidental. If one wants to use others' material then they should seek and obtain a license to do so. In addition they should also mention where the source material came from. Disney did not do either of these things. Anyway, I like this clip very much. Thank you.

[MrLappu]

wow..thnxxx

[sasunarufan4lyf]

loool its so bad

[galengino]

This cartoon is so cute. it's very sad too. more moving than the Disney ones. there needs to be more things like this.
