For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, it’s a whole bunch of Christmas coming your way. First up is Soviet fairy tale The Snow Queen (1957), concerning a young girl’s attempt to rescue her brother from the frosty lady demon who has hypnotized him. Hayao Miyazaki cites this film as one of his chief influences, so let’s give it a whirl. After that is the first two episodes (of 6) of one of the all-time classic anime OVAs, Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket (1989). There’s a war in the future against the Zeon empire, and a lady must get into the robot to kick some butt. But what if war was actually bad? Whoa. Although this series is set at Christmastime, none of the Christmas elements show up until episode 4. Oh well, we’re still watching it, since it is one of the highest-rated animes on Letterboxd. Third for the night will be The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (1978), directed by Czech maestro Karel Zeman, which is a surrealist fairy tale about a boy forced to become the servant of an evil wizard who loves making little boys miserable on Christmas. Will nothing stop his reign of terror? I guess we’ll find out. Last in tonight’s lineup is Sailor Moon S The Movie: Hearts in Ice (1994), the Christmas installment of the long-running series, in which the girls must stop an evil witch from covering the world in ice. Look, it’s a Christmas anime, alright? Good enough.
We’ll start at 9PM EST on Hextube, right here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies
Be there, comrades!
