This work was submitted in a special animation competition as part of a PR project for a power company, but was unfortunately not adopted. The reason is very clear: the setting of the story is the exhausted earth. There couldn't be a more instructive setting for a power company that uses enormous amounts of the earth's resources. Additionally, a girl robot discovered by the main character can store sunlight and convert it into energy; in other words, the robot does not require a power-generating company. In addition to this, the robot destroys herself to protect the established solar power generation system in space. The unsuccessful outcome of the competition for Tezuka Osamu was only natural, and it is clear that he created this piece, as it was intentionally, as he managed everything from the original story to the screenplay, animation, narration, etc., all the while knowing that the competition was sponsored by a power company.

Based on "Unico and the Kingdom of the Sun," which was newly written as a theater version, this animated film features a battle between the wizard Kukuruku and Unico. Kukuruku builds a castle using dolls transformed from men as building parts. The story revolves around the sorrow and terror of men who have been transfigured into dolls, and a girl named Cherry who wishes to recover the kindness in her brother, who is a student of Kukuruku. This work reminds us of the fact that "transformation" or "transfiguration" --- favorite themes of Tezuka Osamu --- involves not only material aspects, but also man's immaterial heart [Taken from AniDB]

中世フランスのとある村。ジャンとジャンヌの婚礼の日、領主は貢ぎ物の代わりにジャンヌを犯し、家来達に輪姦させた。村は飢饉だったが、悪魔の力を得たジャンヌは紡いだ糸を売って生計を立て、税金を取り立てる役人になる事ができた。だが、戦争の資金が調達できなかったジャンは左手首を切り落とされ、悪魔つきとして村人に追われる事に。ジャンにも見放されたジャンヌは、身も心も悪魔に委ねて、魔女となった。黒死病が村を襲い、人々は倒れていった。ジャンヌは毒草ベラドンナを使い、人々の病を治すのだが……。 『千夜一夜物語』『クレオパトラ』に続く大人のためのアニメーションの第3作ですが、スケールの大きな歴史絵巻であった前2作とは、ドラマも映像の作りも大きく異なっており、キャッチフレーズも「アニメラマ」から「アニメロマネスク」に変更さています。中世フランスの農村を舞台に、より強烈なエロティシズムと沈痛なリリシズムで、愛する夫のために悪魔に肉体を売った女性、ジャンヌの哀しき物語を描いています。中でも映画の中盤、ジャンヌが悪魔に身と心を委ねた後の、イメージが洪水のように溢れかえるシークエンスは圧巻。 原作は歴史学者ジュール・ミシュレの「魔女」。監督は「千夜一夜物語」「クレオパトラ」でも手塚治虫と組んだ虫プロの主力演出家、山本暎一。作画監督は、前2作も担当した才人、杉井ギサブロー。また挿絵画家の深井国をフューチャーしたイラストレーションは圧巻。セル画テイストを極力排し、静止画の多様、あるいはイラストを動かすといった実験的な手法から、かつてない実験色のアニメーションに仕上がっています。山本監督の情熱と才能が炸裂したフィルムであり、「作家集団」虫プロダクションの集大成です。 アートアニメーションが脚光を浴びている今だからこそ再評価されるべき作品でしょう。

Before producing a TV series, a pilot film was made to let sponsors and television stations grasp the work's pervasive quality. This is the pilot film for "Dororo" in which the characters are closer to those of the original story compared to the characters in the TV series. The faces and personalities of the characters in the TV series are altered from time to time to gain popularity among its viewers. As a result, sometimes viewers really loved it, but at other times it didn't go over as well. The pilot for "Dororo" was made in color, but the TV series was monochrome due to a tighter budget. The story depicts a journey in which the boy thief named Dororo and a cursed man called Hyakkimaru destroy monsters. Hyakkimaru can be a complete "human" only after he destroys 48 devils.

This was the first episode of Mushi Pro Land, a unique series of 60-minute animated programs. It was also Japan's first 60-minute animated TV program. However, the series never materialized and only this episode was actually aired. The story follows Stevenson's "Treasure Island," featuring characters in the form of animals. For example, the pirate Silver is illustrated as a wolf, where the main character Jim is changed into a rabbit. This has, therefore, nothing to do with the "New Treasure Island," Tezuka's masterpiece Manga.

Wonder 3 pilot episode (entitled The Amazing Three in the United States). In the pilot a few characters looked slightly different. Bokko's appearance was more rabbit-like and less feminine, and she didn't yet have the black tips on her ears, or the tuft of black hair on her head. Pukko didn't have his Beatle haircut. And Koichi looked much the same, but his face was altered slightly for the series. The pilot for the series is largely the same as the first episode – and some footage was reused for the first episode – but differs in a few respects; mostly with regards to how Bokko, Nokko, and Pukko first meet Shinichi. It is also only about 15 minutes long, and ends with Koichi's discovery of a hidden base, which isn't part of the first episode.

While elucidating the mystery and fuzziness as well as merits and demerits of memory in idealizing reality, the story develops into a tale of destruction of human beings, turning the existence of the earth into a memory of the universe. The production, only 5 minutes long, greatly helps expand the viewer's imagination, embodying the enchantment of animation.
