Synopsis
The first in the Momotaro series. Born out of a peach and thus called ‘Momotaro’ (‘Peach Boy’), the boy Momotaro takes a dog, a monkey and a pheasant to conquer the evil ogres living on Onigashima Island (‘Ogre Island’) and returns with a treasure. This is the animated version of a famous Japanese tale. The formalized design of the ogre castle gives a quite modern impression.
