>The Adventures of Milo and Otis (Koneko Monogatari; lit. "A Kitten's Story"; alternate English title, The Adventures of Chatran) is a 1986 Japanese[2] adventure comedy-drama film about two animals: Milo, an orange tabby cat, and Otis, a pug. The original Japanese version, narrated by Shigeru Tsuyuki and with poetry recitation by Kyōko Koizumi, was released on July 12, 1986. Fuji TV's international subsidiary, Fujisankei Communications International removed 15 minutes from the original film and released a shorter English-language version, written by Mark Saltzman and narrated by Dudley Moore, in North America by Columbia Pictures on August 25, 1989
Cool, so the Japanese version is like the director's cut. I never knew it was made in Japan.

Would Gahoole or somebody please post past years' WFC lists, so we don't renominate anything? I thought I had them saved but I can't find them. Need to make a new folder for them.

>>367243I'm not sure, I found it on a "subversive film canon" list on letterboxd. I haven't seen it, but want to. Something about class divisions.

>>367246It got accused by some of being communist when it came out, but others were accusing it of being fascist. The story involves rich living spoiled lives in a futuristic city at the expense of slave-like workers who toil away in poverty in their own city below ground. The hero of the movie is a pampered rich guy who falls in love with a poor girl who is looked up to by the workers and becomes driven to end their suffering.
The message is all about the rich and the poor coming together instead of being at odds with each other. "The mediator between head and hands must be the heart" is the heavy-handed slogan it uses. It's preachy, but I don't see anything wrong with the message.
t. guy who was obsessed with the movie as a teenager
