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:
Panda and the Magic Serpent was available on many cheapo DVDs back in the early 00s. This is a subtitled version available on The Internet Archive. You can find the English dub on there as well, but no fan has redubbed this copy- yet. It is an interesting movie, for sure.
