Description:

The film footage is based on the NegaScan telecine 4K master. A masterpiece that will go down in Japanese animation history is now available in an affordable single volume! The film utilizes the technology and experience gained over the five years since "Hakubenden," while also introducing a new production system. The sixth feature film from Toei Animation, "Wanpaku Ouji no Taibatsu Kaihatsu," is an unprecedented and innovative animated film that will go down in the annals of Japanese animation history! The film, which tells a story with gags and humor based on Japanese mythology, with flat and simple characters and stylized background art, is a beautifully formed film with a production cost of approximately 70 million yen, a staff of 180, 250,000 drawings, and 1 ton of paints. The film was produced by new and old staff, including newcomer Yugo Serikawa as director and veteran artist Koji Mori as his first animation director (original picture director) to unify the overall quality of the original motion picture. The music was composed by Akira Ifukube, who has composed music for numerous films including "Godzilla. The profound music that permeates the entire film enhances the action scenes of the serpent slaying, which is the climax of the story.The scene of the serpent slaying is still talked about today as one of the most famous scenes in the history of Japanese animation, which Otsuka Kosei and Tsukioka Sadao worked on for half a year, and 300 cuts and over 10,000 moving images were spent on this scene alone. The "Wanpaku Ouji no Taibatsu Kaihatsu" (The Wanpaku Prince's Extermination of a Giant Serpent), which already marked a new milestone in the history of Japanese animation that began with "Hakubenden," has been revived in 4K mastered images. 35mm negative scan telecine 4K master Some trailers were up-converted from SD material and converted to HD.
