Summary
This movie was about a boy who loves fictional stories. When he was on the beach, he found a fish and it became a mermaid. He took the mermaid to home but the fact that fish became a mermaid was just his imagination. The kingdom knew about the boy and tortured him because free imagination was forbidden. He then forgot how the mermaid looked like, and took the fish back to the ocean. He followed after the mermaid and went somewhere.
Evaluation
I think the theme of this animation was the right of free imagination. Today, people have rights to imagine or create fiction stories, but if people were not allowed to, the country might be simple and there will be no entertainment. In my opinion, Osamu Tezuka wanted to inform the importance of entertainment, especially animation or comic by creating this video.
