Please forgive me that I may not be able to translate it into correct English. 0:11 Once upon a time there were two old men, Tarobei and Jirobei. 0:17 Tarobei was an honest and hard worker. 0:26 Jirobei was greedy and lazy, and had a big bump on his right cheek. 0:33 Tarobei went to the mountains every day to make firewood. 1:18 The weather in the mountains was volatile and it rained in a blink of an eye. 1:29 Tarobei escaped into the cavity of a large tree nearby. 1:50 Eventually the rain stopped completely. 2:14 Tarobei fell asleep when she was sheltering from the rain. 3:44 Who are you! 3:49 My name is Tarobei and I live in the village at the foot of the mountain. 3:55 What do you want? 3:58 I danced with the sound of an interesting Ohayashi accompaniment. 4:07 It's an interesting guy. Human dance is very interesting. Dance more. 5:07 It was a very interesting dance. Let's have a toast. 5:27 We will have another moon viewing party tomorrow night, so please come and visit us. I'll be waiting for you with a good souvenir. 5:47 Take up the "important things" of Tarobei, so that Tarobei will surely come tomorrow. 6:04 That Tarobei must be cherishing the bumps, just as we(Tengu) are cherishing the nose. 6:16 Old man, Daitengu-sama will leave the bumps until tomorrow night. 6:27 No way! I can't take this. 7:09 Next day 7:31 Mr. Tarobei, please! May I go on your behalf tonight? 7:39 Surprise the tengu with my favorite Stick dance and get a souvenir. 9:50 Rude old man! I'll cut your neck! 9:54 help me! 10:00 There is no need to kill such a guy. 10:06 I will return the items I have kept to you! Go home early! 10:20 albatross(Ahodori in Japanese）『Aho(Aho=fool)』

This film is based on a book from 1875 with the name Kobutori Jisan, only in 1886 the book was translated to english. The "birdpeople" are in fact devils, and they are familiarized to the surreal and magic, that's why is not impressive for them.

'bird people' is not'devils' It is a legendary'tengu'that has been handed down to Japan for hundreds of years. It is said that the model is probably the Jews who arrived in Japan hundreds of years ago. ↓ blog-imgs-125.fc2.com/w/i/l/wildenmann/blog_import_5c88e5d649990.jpeg The stick dance is amazing, but even the people who are watching it are in danger. I'm sick of the selfish old man who is dancing without worrying about that. A treasure that you would get if you danced well. He stole and ran away because he thought he couldn't get it anymore.

[@cxeroannuki2840]

add to that, snow white heavily relied on rotoscoping despite having a huge budget. not only does the animation here appear to be completely original, the drawings are more richly detailed with crisp high-contrast shadows that disney didn't perfect until later. when this was made, most of the animation world was still stuck on cheap rubber-hose animation techniques when these guys managed to portray semi-realistic human anatomy in motion _before_ disney made it popular.

thanks for that perspective, i just watched this and two worlds and, as an animator myself, what I'm amazed by is the sublime cinematography with limited means, the long story arc and the sombre, serious tone. My knowledge of animation history of that era is a jumbled mess so i don't know how right am i in my vague perception that animation elsewhere at the moment was just dancing skeletons, sure much more lavishly animated but with more of an emphasis on quick thrills, while this feels more like a full length narration, more like a real movie than many movies in the cinema today

It's like an old Hungarian joke. Goes like this: "Hunchback was walking down the forest when he met the Devil. The Devil asked him -What's on yer back? -Ah, a hunch. -Wher'd you get it? -Was born this way. -You like it? -Not very much. -Here let me take it away form you. And he takes the hunch from the hunchback. The guy straightens up "bloody hell, thats so good". He starts running out of the forest, meets with a cripple. The cripple asks him: -Aint you were a hunchback. -I was, but this bloke in the middle of the forest cured me. Cripple starts running as fast as his gimpy legs can. He too meets the Devil. The Devil asks: -Whats whit yer leg? -It's crippled -Wher'd you get it? -Was born this way. -You got a hunch? -No. -Then here you go."

I remember reading this story as a kid. Its about 2 wood choppers. The one with the lump on the left is humble and mild fellow. The one with the lump on the right is jealous and spiteful.. Once he heard about how the Tengu took the lump out of the humble wood chopper. He thought he can pretend to be him and do the same dance in hope that the Tengu would remove the lump on his cheek. Only he failed and angered the Tengu so they gave him the lump of the mild wood chopper on his left cheek. Moral of the story, don't be jealous and spiteful. You will only hurt yourself.

[@MyMumei]

@@pneumonoultramicroscopicsi4065 I don't know man. I didn't write the story? There won't be any morals to learn if the Tengu removed the lump of the jealous for trying to deceive them.

[@SamohtNox]

that fascinating in europe there is a similar story about king of the elves(oberonn i think) taking away the ball of the hunchback and placing it on a willow tree, when the guy told the other hunchback what happened he tried to appeal for the same at the king of the elves but the the king was very displeased and took the hunch from the willow tree and placed it on the hunchback, being twice as large

[@pneumonoultramicroscopicsi4065]

And these stories always place the blame with the person seeing hope and wanting to get cured instead of the ones who have the power to heal and yet they use it at their whim and refuse to help some and help some others arbitrarily.

@@thegk-verse4216 in the commenters view, this animation is good. lots of modern is bad. Thus most. Unless you can prove that a majority of anime is better than this. Most stands to be subjective. Additionally, I could say 51% is considered most as that is a majority.

There's an almost identical fairytale in Ireland, only it's about a hunchbacked woodcutter who stumbled upon singing elves in a wood. He sang along with them, and in gratitude the elven queen had his hump removed. So he went back to his village and told about it to another hunchback, who also went into the woods and tried singing along with the elves. But he had no ear for music and ended up ruining their song. As a punishment, the elven queen ordered to attach the woodcutter's hump to his back.

[@_-.-_261]

I believe these two stories are related. There must be some cultural sharing in the past along silk route.

[@thecandlemaker1329]

@@_-.-_261 It's much more ancient than that. You can find stories similar to the story of Tower of Babel as far from Israel as in America and India. Folklorists believe that these legends originally spread during humanity's settlement across the planet, and they survived until the present day.

I wonder how the man looked after that experience, having two hunches in his back, depends on the orientation he would look as a camel or as a guy with tities on his back !

[@AhmadAlMutawa_abunoor]

I read the same exact story of the hunchbacked woodcutter, but the setting was in old Arabia, and the demons were Jin. The story is written before 1970. I thought it was an original Arabian folktale. The name of the book is أساطير شعبية Volume 4

Ah, the subtitles in this anime are old Japanese, so it's hard for me as a native to read the subtitles. (Laughs) I'll write a translation. The nose-nosed characters and friends are not demons, but tengu-like youkai (like a great fairy). It also kidnaps humans, but rewards those who like it. 0:00 All 1 volume of the manga "Remove the bumps" 0:03 Manga by Yasuji Murata. Supervised by Chuzo Aochi. 0:09 Once upon a time, there were two old men, Tarohei and Jirohei. 0:17 Tarohei is an honest and hard worker. 0:25 Jirohei is greedy and lazy.They had a large hump on one cheek. 0:33 Tarohei made firewood in the mountains every day. 1:04 The water bag that Tarohei has says "Beware of fire." 1:05 It's going to be heavy rain. 1:16 The weather in the mountains is volatile. It soon rained heavily. 1:29 Grandfather Tarohei escaped into the cavity of a large tree nearby. 1:51 Rain ceased. 2:14 The old man fell asleep comfortably while sheltering from the rain. 3:44 Who are you! 3:49 I'm Tarohei, an old man who lives in the village at the foot of the mountain. 3:55 Did you need me? 4:00 Excited by the interesting sound of drums, my body naturally participated in the dance. 4:06 It's an interesting guy. Human dance is interesting. Dance more! 5:07 It was very interesting. Come on, drink this liquor. 5:24 Tomorrow night, we will have a moon-viewing party in the grasslands of the pass, so come on. We are prepared a souvenir. 5:48 Steal his valuables so that he will definitely come. 6:05 The most important part of us is the nose. That old man must be a hump. 6:16 Old man. It's a boss's command.
