add recThis is more of a recommendation based on style rather than actual content. Legend of the Forest and Broken Down Film are both in the style of early western animation, both in the visual appearance of the characters and musical sound design. If you liked the 'classic' style of animation of one of these, then it is well worth checking out the other.
Ugokie Kori no Tatehiki
- Movie
- 1933
Under the pale glow of a full moon, the night air is filled with spirits and magic -- mere humans would do well to stay at home on nights like these. If you happen to be a shapeshifting fox, however, the time is ripe for a exploring a run down temple nearby, no matter how ghastly its appearance may be. As it happens, sometimes appearances are not deceiving: the temple is haunted by a mischevious tanuki who does his damnedest to scare the intruder away! A fierce battle of wits between the mythical creatures starts. The tanuki seems to know every trick in the book, but the fox has been around the block a few times too...

Tales of a Street Corner
Alt titles: Aru Machi Kado no Monogatari
- Movie
- 1962
Life unfolds in the most unexpected places. Story of a Street Corner follows the bustling activities of a street corner, but not the ones you would expect. A hungry mouse, a moth desperately seeking the food caught in a spider’s web, and a love triangle unfolding between the posters lining the street are all depicted with an original musical score as the only sound.

add recBoth Tales of a street corner and broken down film have a rather unusual drawing style for anime that gives them a similar feel although their contents are not comparable. They have something old fashioned to them that gives thema fresh look. If you liked one, you might want to give the other a try
Ningyo
Alt titles: Mermaid
- Movie
- 1964
With no speech, Ningyo relates the story of a boy who falls in love with a mermaid. Their love blossoms in wonderful places (and through amusing games), but when living in a world of prohibition, one can not daydream as he pleases: torture and brainwashing should teach the boy what reality is made of, and that does not include mermaids...

Memory
- Movie
- 1964
The memory works in mysterious ways. From stereotypes that help us to remember people, to what is left of the day we broke up, or even to what other creatures will remember of humans after our race is extinguished, the abstract comments of the narrator are illustrated in a literal way by the animation - resulting in holy toilet cities and other cyclopean creatures.
