japansk text

The little norse prince (1968)

” The Little Norse Prince, directed by Takahata and animated by Miyazaki in 1968 was also Takahata’s directorial debut and draws on an ancient Japanese myth transposed to Scandinavian folklore.

Horus, a young boy in the European Iron Age, recovers the Sword of the Sun from the rock giant Moog and learns from his dying father that he must return to his ancestral territory. In the process, he defends a village from the attacks of Grundewald, a warlord/ice demon and befriends the enigmatic Hilda, a lonely and beautiful girl who sings haunting songs to conceal her terrible secret…

The delicately beautiful ‘Taiyo No Oji’, to use its original Japanese title, was the first movie where now legendary animators Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata (later founder of Ghibli Studios) worked together.”
