| Jungle Emperor |
Compiled from episodes of the TV series,
Jungle Emperor has a lot of the late sixties charm of the original episodes.
Originating from Tezuka's 1951 manga,
Jungle Emperor is a remarkably forward-thinking eco-friendly work.
More than an exercise in the anthropomorphism typical of Disney, Leo (
Kimba The White Lion) is a contemplative being, sensitive to the hypocrisy of humankind and conscious of the harsh strategies he must apply in order to achieve harmony between the threatened animal kingdom and ignorant humans.
Australian premiere!
