Little Nemo Miyazaki’d

I’ve always liked the animated Little Nemo film, but it doesn’t take a genius to see that it’s equal parts good and bad. Sequence with the nightmare-ish flying manta rays? Good. Part where Nemo and his friends get butterfly wings and fly around the clouds? Not so good.

Cartoon Brew has unearthed an old 70mm test for the film directed by Miyazaki animator/director Yoshifumi Kondo, and other than some awkward voice acting, it’s pretty awesome. You can see the video after the break, but head to Cartoon Brew’s original post for the lowdown on how the film eventually became what it is. Interesting stuff.
