I really loved it

I'm new to anime, in my 30's, recently watched the studio ghibli films and liked those quite a lot. So i'm currently on a journey through decades of feature length anime films. Of the 60's anime Films i've seen so far, I enjoyed this the most.

Very ahead of its time in terms of style for an animated film. It feels more 80's than 60's and i watched a crude copy. Remastered it would look spectacular. I can't help but wonder how much of an influence this film had on the future of animation. It's early anime, but the style here is a very minimalistic one, slightly abstract, reminded me of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

Pretty random fantasy adventure but also very relaxing and a nice movie to put on at bedtime. The plot is largely sci fi driven as for the most part, this is a space exploration fantasy film. There are some interesting themes on robots gaining intelligence and fighting back against its creators. The gulliver element is the most confusing to me. I've seen a few adaptation of gullivers travels, and this scientist as an old man gulliver as opposed to an original character didn't really seem to have much of a point. But i guess it all adds to the random charm.

The plot does meander a bit, but it's aesthetically pleasing and never boring. Sort of reminds me of The Little Prince.
