SYNOPSIS

日本アニメーションの近代化に多大な功績を残した政岡の代表作。先に音楽等を録音したのち、作画をあわせるプレスコ方式を用い、横山美智子の童話を精緻な動画でミュージカル調に演出。てんとう虫の少女が蜘蛛に誘惑されるも、周囲に助けられて笑顔を取り戻す。（日本語音声・英語字幕）

The Spider and the Tulip is the most famous film of Kenzo Masaoka, who devoted his life to modernizing Japanese animation. Using a prescoring system (recording the sounds first and making animation based on the soundtrack), a children’s story by Michiko Yokoyama became a musical animation with delicate movements. A ladybug girl is seduced by a spider but recovers the smile on her face with the help of the surrounding characters. (Japanese dialogue, English subtitle)
