The Little Prince and the Eight-Headed Dragon

Sometimes called Prince in Wonderland or Rainbow Bridge, The Little Prince and the Eight-Headed Dragon is based on the Shintō myth of the storm god Susanoo’s battle with the Yamata no Orochi. It is considered one of the best of the Tōei Dōga features and is a landmark in anime and animated features in general, placing 10th in the list of the “150 best animated films and series of all time” compiled by Tokyo’s Laputa Animation Festival from an international survey of animation staff and critics back in 2003.
