A screening event with a talk show for the US-Japan co-produced full-length animated film ``Little Nemo'' will be held at the UDX Theater in Akihabara, Tokyo, on March 21st.
In addition to the main story of "Little Nemo," the event will screen a 3-minute pilot film directed by Yoshifumi Kondo and directed by Kazuhide Tomonaga. The talk show that follows will feature Koji Takeuchi and Tomonaga, who were involved in the production, and Seiji Kano, a video researcher, who will serve as the moderator. Tickets will go on sale tomorrow, February 27th from 7pm on the Doripass website.
``Little Nemo,'' which was released in Japan in July 1989 and in the United States in July 1992, is based on Windsor McCay's ``Little Nemo.'' The story depicts the growth of a young boy, Nemo, as he goes on great adventures in the land of dreams and nightmares. Directed by William T. Hertz and Masami Hata, who is known for Sanrio's feature-length theatrical works, Mobius worked on the screen concept, and Yasuo Otsuka and others participated in the storyboard. It took 15 years to produce and cost 5.5 billion yen, and was produced by Telecom Animation Film.
