Guliver's Travels Beyond the Moon - Rise Robots Rise

1965 Japanese anime based loosely on Gulliver's Travels. This frightning scene takes place on the Star of Hope which has been taken over by robots. Screenplay was written by Shinichi Sekizawa. In one of his earliest animation jobs, a young Hayao Miyazaki also worked on this film. He is uncredited.

When I watched this movie as a kid, I loved this part mostly for the music.

Watching it now, I can see a dark statement about the over-dependence on technology, made ironic due to today's everyday use by idiots who uses cell phones, IPods, computers and...uh...

Well anyway, I can also see an slight nod towards Orwell's 'Big Brother' state which, sadly, America is slowly becoming like.

Maybe the writer was sneaking in a message...

Oh. My. God. I've had Rise Robots Rise in my head for like forty years (they used to show this movie on TV in Indy every Easter or something) but I was never able to find out what it was associated with. When you are just a few years old you don't catalog things well. Kewl! Thanks for saving my brain.

Damn! I had been looking for this for years! Didn't remember the name of the movie--- when I would describe it to my peers (especially sing the song) they'd look at me as if I'd lost my mind lol
