COMMUNITY REVIEWS

:D submitted by tarascon on June 28, 2023, 11:47am If Yamamura had done nothing other than the title piece—think Ralph Steadman—he’d still get five stars from me. A joy for aficionados of any type of animation. Superlative.


Q: Will the Old Crocodile devour his beloved?
A: You’ll have to borrow the DVD to find out.
