"Flying Ghost Ship" Blu-ray: A 1969 animated masterpiece brought back to life in high definition

"Flying Phantom Ship" is a feature-length animated film produced by Toei Animation in 1969. Directed by Hiroshi Ikeda, it is a film adaptation of the original work by Shotaro Ishimori, known for works such as "Cyborg 009." Of particular note is that Hayao Miyazaki, who would later go on to create many masterpieces such as "My Neighbor Totoro" and "Spirited Away," participated in the film as a key animator and was in charge of designing the giant robot.

Story: A boy takes on mysteries and conspiracies

The story begins when the fate of a young boy named Hayato, who was living a peaceful life, changes completely. Hayato loses his parents in a sudden attack on the city by a giant robot. This robot calls itself the "Messenger of the Phantom Ship." Guided by his parents' final words, Hayato joins the defense force organized by Chairman Kuroshio to find out the truth.

However, by chance, Hayato discovers something in the underground passageway that leads him to discover a shocking secret that is completely different from the truth he has been told. This work has been loved by many anime fans as a science fiction story depicting the courage and friendship of a boy who stands up against an evil conspiracy. It is also one of the first animated films to be dubbed into Russian and screened in cinemas in the former Soviet Union. Making full use of animation techniques from the late 1960s, this work can be said to be an important piece in the history of Japanese animation.
