If you loved Little Tora, The Abandoned Cat, try The Spider and the Tulip
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Kenzō Masaoka, and they sit in Adventure / Animation territory. If that's the register that drew you to Little Tora, The Abandoned Cat, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Spider and the Tulip is
Bugs Bunny without the wise-cracking. A spider schemes to trap a ladybug, but nature intervenes when a storm hits. This fable showcases early anime's artistry.
