Jungle Taitei / Honnōji no Hen · Promotional, institutional or exhibition film · General
« What makes a king? », the Phoenix asks. It first shows Leo: a young tigress raised by humans falls from a jeep, wanders into the jungle and pounces on every animal out of loneliness. Leo takes her in on condition that she keeps the jungle’s peace, but his uncle Bubu exploits his kindness to try to oust him. The Phoenix then turns to Kyōto’s history and the end of Oda Nobunaga, an extraordinary leader [1].
