The second greatest children's animation in the world - after Laputa
18 June 2009
There's only one thing to say about this series - get it now! Of course you've probably seen it if you're even reading this but if not then sort it out.

I'm not going to write a review, there are plenty available, this is the internet. I've said all that's important already. Only thing is there aren't enough stars to rate Miyazaki's work on IMDb.

Incidentally you may want to read the English short sci fi novel called "The Incredible Tide" by Alexander Key upon which this series is based.

This animation series appears to be a prototype for Miyazaki's film Laputa: Castle in the Sky - at least its chief characters Pazu and Shita are based on Conan and Lana of this series.

Also check out Sherlock Hound, all of Masterpiece Theatre series and the amazing 1968 collaboration featurelength animation 'Horus Prince of the Sun' by Miyazaki and Takahata.
