Ringing Bell

anime   Japan

Lovely adaptation of a Japanese folk tale. A lamb has his mother killed by a wolf, vows revenge, pleads with the wolf to teach him how to kill, learns through persistence to be a ruthless killer...a warrior ram.

Nicely drawn, marred by the annoying child's voice used by the English dubber and by the overacting so common in Eastern films. Still, this 1978 film was well worth a watch.
