I haven't seen this movie in 26 years, almost brought a tear to my eye.

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

This work is quite irrelevant to Hayao Miyazaki.

@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.

@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.

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... ^^
