This Japanese anime is a classic: unforgettable in its
poignancy and execution. The film takes place after the
great destruction of the atomic bomb. It is about
the survival of a young boy and his toddler sister.
The dvd version contains an interview with the director
who survived that time.
To dismiss Grave of the Fireflies as a cartoon would miss
the point. Much of the work in animation by the Japanese
has to do with the restrictions placed on live action
drama by the American Marshall Plan during reconstruction
of the country.
I'm going to see if I can find out more about Turtles Can Fly
as well.
