Cutesy dancing crabs
rough condition
plant persimmon tree
"Mangwa: Shin Saru Kani Gassen" is a very strange Japanese cartoon that I found on the Japanese Animated Film Classics website. I certainly would not say it's a good cartoon...and it certainly is odd and features an odd message about revenge.
The crab receives a magic persimmon seed from the monkey. When the crab plans plants it, it grows into a tree immediately. Persimmons blossom and some polite bees ask the crab if they can live in the tree...and the nice crab agrees. Later, the monkey arrives and instead of helping the crab harvest the fruit, it keeps it for itself and tosses the bee hive at the crab. Naturally the only solution is revenge!
In addition to its adult theme involving revenge, the cartoon ALSO has lots of cute singing and dancing....the rather nauseating type that was popular in American cartoons of the early to mid 1930s. All I know is that the animation wasn't very good and the story bizarre. Not one I'd recommend you see, bit many good Japanese cartoons are on the website awaiting to be discovered.
