Broken Down Film
Alt titles: Onboro Film

The short Broken Down Film is just that: broken. The film has aged poorly and the projector has trouble keeping the frame straight, but the protagonist is well aware of this. Exploiting these conditions the bumbling cowboy attempts to rescue a damsel in distress and win her heart.

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...

add recBoth Ningyo and Tales of a Street Corner are about an impossible romance in a world where daydreaming is out of the question. Though the stories are different, both are quite similar in the way they focus on the story and keep it as pure as possible, not bothering with amazing effects or implicit aspects.
Pictures at an Exhibition
Alt titles: Tenrankai no E
- Movie
- 1966
Beautiful paintings line the wall of an exhibition hall, each with an interesting and unusual story to tell. An elephant is recruited to be a boxing champion; a cosmetic surgeon fixes up problems with old and young alike; a man runs a robotic and heartless factory, only to be replaced as a factory part, himself; cute baby chickens frolic amidst a sea of red; and a Zen master sits calmly amidst storms, fires and distractions. Each of these stories and more can be seen through the paintings on display!

add recThese two longer shorts by Osamu Tezuka are ideal recommendations for each other: On the one hand they have some rather serious depictions or pointed satire regarding war; on the other they have some goofy animals and humour that owe much to Disney.
