The Monkey Fleet Trailers

This very brief cartoon from Japan whose title translated means "The Monkey Fleet" and runs little more than a minute has the Asian monkeys battling octopuses as they both go underwater with the simian animals riding in submarines shooting their torpedo bullets at the sea creatures.

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This very brief cartoon from Japan whose title translated means "The Monkey Fleet" and runs little more than a minute has the Asian monkeys battling octopuses as they both go underwater with the simian animals riding in submarines shooting their torpedo bullets at the sea creatures. The battle scenes are pretty fascinating for animation done in the '30s but the fact that's all you see in such a very short film makes it filler in my eyes. The script was by Chuzo Aoji, with animation by Manzo Miyashita and music (the one I heard on YouTube, anyway) by Joichi Yuasa. Worth a look, anyway, for anyone fascinated by early Japanese animation. Or any animation buff at all.
