The film is based on the true story of Yoichi Hatta (1886-1942), a civil engineer who traveled to Japanese-ruled Taiwan in 1910 to build a complex irrigation system in the barren southwest. Hatta manages to overcome the initial doubts of local farmers, but a tragic tunnel accident eventually halts the project and shakes his confidence.

Up in Heaven, Yuki’s grandparents decide that, having turned thirteen years old, she must go down to Earth to a village that is torn by bandits and intervene to save its people. However if she does not succeed within one year she will become as insubstantial as the wind. Down in the village, Yuki is befriended by a group of orphans whose parents have all been killed by the bandits and who now subsist by begging. Yuki amazes them by taming the wild horse Blizzard. She is instrumental in getting the orphans and farmers to stand up to first the warring bandits and then Goemon, the greedy lord that owns the region. But Yuki must face her greatest challenge yet when the displeased Demon God that lives in the volcano emerges to destroy those who live beneath.

Adventures of the polar cubs is a delightful story of Mushka and Mishka, two polar bear cubs who set out on a series of adventures in the North Pole. Mushka is thoughtful; Mishka is daring. While out on their own Mishka befriends Aura, A prank-playing seal and Mushka stumbles over swan eggs, breaks them and creates havoc in the bird village. The cub's father is Scholar Mu (voice of Joseph Campanella), who is the wise leader of the Great Northern animal kingdom and is in charge of their annual Summer Festival. When Mu is injured by man, the cubs must take on the responsibilities of their father and save the other animals from the hunters.

Adaptación de "Las mil y una noches". La historia se centra en Aladino, quien ama y pierde a la hermosa esclava Miriam, y en sus aventuras cambiará de nombre, llamándose Simbad. Forma parte de la trilogía "Animerama", formada por "Las mil y una noches" (1969), "Cleopatra" (1970) y "Belladonna of Sadness" (1973). Ideada por Osamu Tezuka, padre del manga/anime, la trilogia se caracterizó por dos elementos: fueron pensadas para proyectarse en pantallas de cine -algo poco común para la época- y se trataba de animación para adultos, adelantándose a obras como "Fritz the Cat" de Ralph Bakshi.
