Review of Phoenix 2772 (1980) by Neil L — 05 Jun 2010
Quite a disappointment. The film has been co-scripted by Osamu Tezuka and has been marketed as an anime version of his excellent _Phoenix_ manga series, yet I couldn't quite see why (except that it also features the immortal Fire Bird).
The film has a good match of music and pictures (it's sometimes reminescent of Disney's _Fantasia_), but the plot is pretty slow, and the cartoonish aliens are a nuisance.
