Eons ago, I saw this in a theater.

It was the first time I'd seen animation better than Voltron or Merry Melodies.

Five for Pillager and Merry Melodies.

Definitely better than Avatar.

This is what takabagabobos actually believe!

I saw this early one morning back in the late 1980s as I was getting ready for school. I turned on the TV and this just happened to be playing. I think it may have been on HBO. They used to show short films as time-fillers in between movies...back when they used to show movies.

The thing is, though, I came in somewhere in the middle. When I started watching, the horse-faced guys had just launched their boats and started the skywhale hunt.

This is much more enchanting and less nightmare-inducing when you see it from the beginning.

All the wonder and world-building of Avatar, none of the horrible writing

Kind of like a combination of Snorks and Heavy Metal.
