"Story of a Street Corner"

Dr. Osamu Tezuka has been praised by many as the "Father of Anime", and the Japanese Walt Disney.
Surely, his legacy lives on in characters like "Princess Knight", "Kimba the White Lion" and his most famous creation "Tetsuwan ATOM" or "Astroboy".

However, Dr. Tezuka produced a wealth of animation works throughout his career which remains quite unknown to the vast audience.
One of these jewels is this "short" (38 min.) animation produced in 1962, which Tezuka financed himself: "Story of a Street Corner". Simply, ART!

Enjoy!
