Description:
"A futuristic FANTASIA" is how ROBOT CARNIVAL was described when it was recently released in Japan. The producer A.P.P.P. Co. Ltd., invited nine of Japan's leading animation artists to create a segment for it. The rules were that each segment was to show robots in some manner, and each should tell it's story primarily through visual action. The result is a 91 minute feature which combines the best aspects of a theatrical movie and an animation festival compilation. There is drama, comedy, lyricism, fast-paced action and dreamy mood pieces presented with beautiful art and haunting music. Showcasing the work of nine world-class animators, ROBOT CARNIVAL is an "art-lovers dream come true." Noted Animation Producer KAZUFUMI NOMURA has gathered an impressive group of artists, each with their own unique style and filmic vision, to create a collection of mini-masterpieces.The result is a broad based retrospective of state-of-the-art animation. This is traditional, full animation complimented by a sophisticated stereo score by JOE HISAISHI, ISAKU FUJITA and MASAHISA TAKEICHI.

Notes:
The order of the segments is shuffled from the original Japanese release.
Release has audio in both English and Japanese, but does not contain subtitles for the Japanese track.
