One of the most revolutionary Japanese animated feature ever made, Horus shattered the Disney mold and firmly established the modern anime era. This is the moment when “anime” becomes a unique species of the form. A new vocabulary is created: animation theory, formal composition, morally complex characters, biting social commentary, and thrilling, stylized action sequences that would make the world envious. The creators read like an honor roll of animation all-stars: Isao Takahata, Hayao Miyazaki, Yasuo Otsuka, Reiko Okuyama, Yoichi Kotabe, Yasuji Mori, Akemi Ota."
