Watched the shit out of an old vhs copy i had as a kid. The restoration work on this is incredible! Hope the english dub is included (for nostalgia purposes, of course).
the little mermaid the 1975 anime movie from toei animation is made before the disney animated movie is made in 1989 the 1975 film is originally released by starmaker r&g video on vhs
@@user-ny5vp9be8v This movie makes Disney's The Little Mermaid seem like a huge rip off. Some of the shot set ups are conceptually incredibly similar. I already knew Disney ripped off Kimba the White Lion to make The Lion King... And they stole a lot from The Thief and the Cobbler to make Aladdin... How many successful "original" Disney concepts were just rip offs of existing material that gave no credit to these sources?
I loved the old school animation of this anime it's handrawn but it's ending is so tragic.the main protagonist died and turned into bubbles.very different from the 1989 version of wealth Disney the little mermaid.
I remember seeing this adaptation a long time ago! I used to own a VHS copy of it.

Yup, the JP version and the English dub are included
Yes, it has the English dub, and if you want some extra laughs, there's a Rifftrax for this film available right now
I have watched both the VHS and DVD of this marvelous Toei animation.
I wish this was on the now-closed Greatest Movies wiki...

@@andreakhaid Thanks? Are you implying I didn't know this?
I still have my DVD copy that Discotek put out a while back, but I'm definitely gonna double-dip!
Such a beautifully animated movie, i love seeing it in widescreen. I would love to buy the original soundtrack for all the background music!
This looks amazing
Had no idea this even existed. 😮
