    I've read the book..

    It won't matter if the original story is known, the two main characters are represented, but like the other review mentions, it is a loosely based re-telling of Robinson Crusoe.

    The soundtrack which is entrancing, has me return to it, and keep looking for a copy, but the animation is also psychedelic, and thrusts a fantasy full of allegoric wonder in your face, and gives impression of what it must have been like in the late 60s/70s, if it was as hippie dippy as entertainment makes it seem.

    This is for those interested in a pleasant, artsy pastime movie, and there's very few moments which would be depressing, with exception to a few which drive the story forward; one of the movies I'd leave on in the background for the ocean sounds.

    Well worth watching

    Brilliant animation and music. Storyline not easy to follow but never boring. Among the subjects it touches on are immigration, death by drowning, various forms of love, cruelty, and loneliness. The link to the original Robinson Crusoe is very slight.
