The video Mermaid was about a boy who found a fish that he see as a mermaid in his imaginary world. He took the fish home and showed it to his parents but they couldn't see the mermaid, the only thing they could see was a fish in the tank. At the country the boy was living, no imagination was allowed. Therefore he was arrested and was put into some laboratory to wash of his ability of imagining things. He noticed that something was happening to his brain so he escaped from where he was trapped and went back to his house. He returned to his house and saw the water tank. The fish was there but he wasn't able to see the mermaid. The boy lost his imagination ability. He was shocked so he went to the ocean to return the fish, hoping that it will change to mermaid again. However nothing occurred and in the end the boy went inside the ocean with the mermaid. It seemed like he became also a mermaid and was swimming with the mermaid in the ocean where it is filled with freedom.
I think that he found out that he has lost the ability to imagine so he thought that it was no meaning to live at the world he lived anymore. That is why, he went inside the water to go to another world where it is free. I hope that he was able to go to some world where it is free to think anything that we want to.
Tezuka Osamu wanted to tell us the importance of imagination and how we are lucky that we live in a world that is free to do anything and free to think anything.
