The White Snake Enchantress

 

From Wiki- The White Snake Enchantress (Japanese: 白蛇伝, Hepburn: Hakujaden; lit. 'Legend of the White Serpent') is a Japanese animated fantasy film. It is the first color anime feature film and Toei Animation's first theatrical feature film, released in 1958. It was one of the first three anime films to be released in America, under the title Panda and the Magic Serpent, premiering in 1961, a month after Magic Boy.^[1] It is an adaptation of the Chinese tale Legend of the White Snake and is also known as The Great White Snake and The Tale of the White Serpent. In April 2019, a restored version of the film was selected to be shown in the Cannes Classics section at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival.^[2]  Back to me:

783. 7 Sad Song Friday 2-13-2026!

 This is kind of an unusual celebration of a money-grubbing "holiday," I will grant that.

 This trailer is on this blog a lot, and none of the original ones are active now.

782. Ultraman Mebius 01-04 the introduction!

Here we go with my favorite new Ultra series, Ultraman Mebius. 

Adventures into the Unknown! #13

I sure would have bought this right off the stand, had I seen it and been alive to see it.  It was published in August of 1950, so there was no chance of finding it on a spinner rack.  However, I would have been disappointed.  Lots of semi-horror stories and sci-fi stuff, but not a dinosaur attacking a city at all.  There is an octopus style alien which seems to have a happy ending for all, so that would have been fun.  I would have wondered why there was no dinosaur story, but now I know the cover was to catch the eyes of young readers (like me),

781. The Wonderful Dinosaur Egg (book review)!

 The first ever dinosaur book I had read to me... it might have been a bit influential.

VOTW- Stegron!

From Wiki- Vincent Stegron is a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who worked with Curt Connors to study DNA of dinosaurs from the Savage Land. Inspired by the experiment that turned Connors into the Lizard, Stegron steals dinosaur DNA and injects himself with it, transforming into a Stegosaurus-like creature. Stegron gains the ability to command real dinosaurs, and he plans to use them in his plans for conquest of the world and converting all of humanity into creatures like himself. Taking several dinosaurs with him from the Savage Land to New York City, he encounters Spider-Man, Black Panther, and Ka-Zar.^[3] In the ensuing battle, Stegron is knocked into a nearby river and seemingly drowns.^[4]

780. Climbing to the land of Lost Continent (1951) review!

 I do like this movie a lot, though it could use a bit of judicious editing.  Still a fun sci-fi adventure movie.

This is a powerful song, and there are so many covers of it out already.
