the most unknown super great animation ever

It is a drama- fantasy story based on an old book named the same. A brilliant combination of fantasy and everyday life problems with great lessons for life.

Considering the release date, its CGI work is quite acceptable. Characters are unforgettable, story is superb and the scenario and directing is fantastic. It is impossible for any child to ever forget this animation.

Kudus to all the people who have helped to bring these Ryunosuke Akutagawa's masterpiece on the screen as masterfully as this one.

I am not sure if the original work that has been aired in japan is available or not but there are some copies online which are based on aired versions in S. Korea and Iran.

I hope someday the original version will get released from archives of Dax International or any other source. A remake will be quite interesting as well.
