04 CAMPHOR TREE STORY (W3)
Posted: Sat Apr 14, 2012 3:32 am
Years before Tezuka even began working on THE LEGEND OF THE FOREST, he made this episode. While LEGEND uses Tchaikovsky's fourth symphony, this uses one of Beethoven's; I believe it is the Pastoral, as it starts serenely then has a thunderous part. The page for The Legend of the Forest even includes a Camphor tree among it character portraits.
This inchworm takes liberties with Pukko!
Fred Ladd's book indicates that W3 was animated in a Disney-like style, & there are more than a few critters that make the case.
Mean ol' hunters kill this duck, and this will cause trouble for Pukko.
"My hero!"
"I'm a tough guy!"
To bring you up to date, a construction crew had cleared away the forest, displaced many animals, & now, only this one large tree remains.
This usually means someone is bribing someone else, and as I do not recall much if any dialogue, I think it also indicates a bribe here.
That one tree is ruining his whole plan! It must go!
"Uh-oh!"
