Movie Reviews of Taro the Dragon Boy

Movie Review: I Love This Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars

I purchased this on a whim and was so glad I did. Yes, the animation isn't up to today's standards, but do you hate a Cab Callaway recording because he didn't have today's technology? I think not. The story is delightful and was enjoyed by all members of my household, age 4 to 40. Even the teens watched it several times. Taro has all the classic elements of the folk tale with plenty of surprises, little jokes and side stories along the way. It is definitely quirky and for those with an odd sense of humor.

Summary of Taro the Dragon Boy

Lazy and selfish Taro loves to eat sleep and wrestle with the forest animals. He has little direction or inspiration in his life. That is until a wizard passing through the forest one day bestows young Taro with a magical potion. Upon drinking the potion he gains the strength of a hundred men!However there is a catch: he may only summon this power when he is helping others. Taro soon learns that his long lost mother was transformed into a dragon as punishment for her greediness. He sets forth with a sense of purpose to locate his mother and free her from the spell. All the while trying to help the peasants of his village as well as other colorful creatures that inhabit the mountain. Inspired by an ancient Japanese folklore Taro the Dragon Boy is an enchanting animated masterpiece!Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ANIMATION/ADULT SWIM UPC: 875707000390 Manufacturer No: 70003D
