Sekai meisaku dôwa: Hakuchô no mizûmi (1981)
Loved it

I love this movie, and so does my neighborhood gang of girls. We're near the end of college, if not done with it altogether, and we still enjoy watching this graceful adaptation of Tchaikovsky's ballet. Swan Lake also has memorable quirks (ok, faults) - It would be kind of nice if Siegfried, Mr. Hero, did not look and sound so effeminate. Is Odette's crown superglue to her head or does it symbolize her situation? How about Margerita's treatment of her poor, long-suffering suitor? Should that count as a form of cruelty? But that it was made in 1982 is an even greater testimony to the producer and animators' skill. It is classier and often even better than a lot of the anime produced today.
