Alakazam the Great
This early 1960s animated musical based on Osamu Tezuka's manga Saiyu-Ki (itself based on Tales from the East) surprisingly benefits from Les Baxter songs sung by Frankie Avalon.

It's Beach Blanket Bingo meets Monkey - a cocktail perfectly matching Tezuka's own heady mix-and-match narratives.

Sterling Holloway (the voice of Winnie the Pooh) narrates. Australian premiere.
