If you loved The Golden Bat, try Future Boy Conan

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 Hajime Sato, and they sit in Action / Adventure / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Golden Bat, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Future Boy Conan is

You survive on a lost isle after the world's magnetic wars. You meet a stranger, and then soldiers come looking for her. But her escape puts the last hope of humankind in your hands. Miyazaki’s animation is a clear prototype for his later environmental and anti-war concerns.
