Hakujaden (1958)

Working on a post about Hakujaden for my Wordpress and it kills me how beautiful the backgrounds are and how lovely the color scheme is.

I just discovered that the old 1960s dub of Hakujaden, released in the US as Panda and the Magic Serpent, is on Amazon. I am torn. Because, on the one hand, my childhood. On the other hand, fucking Amazon.

Backstory: I had this movie on VHS. My grandfather gave it to me for my birthday, I think? I was probably 6 or 7 at the time and I adored it--and I still adore it.

And I think I do need to represent my old and abiding love for this movie (though I would shank a bitch to get a fully-restored, full-length, original Japanese version--hint hint, Criterion) by finally and officially drifting about a convention dressed as Bai Niang (above). I just need to do it. That’s all there is to it.
