About Birmingham Anime Film Festival: Momotaro - Sacred Sailors
Presumed lost until the mid-’80s, Momotaro has been freshly restored from the original 35mm negatives, looking not a day older than when it screened in 1945.
Momotaro remains – propagandistic material notwithstanding – a timeless achievement in worldwide animation that is nothing less than the birth of anime as we know it. A very rare chance to see a lost masterpiece on the big screen.
