Finally!
This is a great classic film that mysteriously disappeared for a long time. In fact, most of the old Sanrio films disappeared. I saw it when I was very young in the early 90's, and I lamented the fact that it was never on DVD, but only om ancient VHS tapes or recorded from TV specials.
It's one of those films that, if you saw it as a young 'un, it stays with you forever, because it's so unlike most childrens' films. At times, it doesn't feel like a childrens' film, due to its dramatic elements.
It's a very delightful and heart-wrenching film, and I can't wait to add it to my DVD collection!
So beautiful!
My mother, sister, and I all fell in love with this in the original japanese as the "Legend of Sirius" even though we couldn't understand it. We were shocked to find it in English in a local video rental store, but thrilled that we could finally hear the whole story.
It is just beautiful to watch, the music is lovely, and the characters are cute. I love the mythological take on Romeo and Juliet, and the ending is much easier to live with :-)
We still have our VHS copies in both English and Japanese, but this is one we really want on DVD.
I have read online that it had a limited release on DVD in Japan, but that it is nearly impossible to find. Please re-release it on DVD!
Childhood classic FINALLY comes to dvd
YES YES YES! It got me emotional then, and it does now! Great tragic love story, with beautiful characters. I loved it. If you like movies like The Last Unicorn, Unico, and other odd, now obscure, titles, you'll love this! SO glad it is on dvd now.
