Summary

A mischievous alien throws time into chaos: in a single day, the seasons rush past at full speed. The film reminds us of the value of time, and its endless metamorphoses show Tezuka’s love of shapes that turn into other shapes [1].

Information

  • Shown in a loop at the Seiko Pavilion of the Ōsaka World Expo from March 15, 1970; 5 min 42 s, colour [1].
