Comments must be succinct & relevant to the story. Comments are checked frequently and abusive, rude or profane comments will be deleted. I’m just one of many bloggers who answer questions online and sometimes for the press. I usually handle questions about Japan, marketing or the economy, so in those areas I’m more likely to make sense and less likely to say something really stupid. If I post something here that you find helpful or interesting, that’s wonderful. This is my personal blog. If you don't like what you have read here then, just like when you go into a restaurant or bar that allows smoking, if you don't like it, there's something at the front that has hinges on it and it is called a "door."
Oh my goodness, but that was one amazing cartoon! A pity there was no sound with it - US cartoon had long been in sync there... but I have to state, that the animation on this toon was beautiful. Comparable to the Black and white Popeye cartoons of the 1930s and not rivaled again until Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
ReplyDeleteI was so surprised when the mill popped out a palanquin... I thought it was a type of bread, he was asking for at first, as I do know what a real palanquin is - and it turned to be what I knew it to be! Wonderful!
I could see the ending of the cartoon coming a mile a way... but what was unexpected, was the cute fish warning others away from the danger. I was immediately struck by the thought of Fukushima, the gov't and the no-entry zone. Of course, salt mines are used to store nuclear waste...
Awesome, awesome cartoon.
