The anime industry has plenty of beloved classics, covering everything from feature length films to television series. While films from companies like Studio Ghibli tend to dominate public consciousnesses, there are others that have been lost to virtual obscurity over the years that deserve more attention. Take, for instance, the 1981 title from Sanrio, The Sea Prince and the Fire Child.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT From the company better known for beloved characters like Hello Kitty, this movie takes the premise of Romeo and Juliet and injects it with fantastical magic, warring gods, and cartoon hijinks. While there are a few drawbacks due to the limitations of animation at the time, the art, story, and balanced atmosphere make the tale of Sirius and Malta a gem modern audiences will still enjoy.
The familiar plot is given a breath of fresh air thanks to the plethora of fantasy elements building upon it. The warring gods feel as if they're stepped out of a creation myth, while the fairy-like fire children and Sirius' devil-may-care attitude recall the adventures of Peter Pan.
Modern audiences can often turn their noses up at older movies, believing they are inferior due to the limitations of their time. But classics are classics for a reason, as Sirius and Malta's love story proves this. Sanrio innovates the tale of star-crossed lovers by blending the trope with influences across various genres. The result is a film that will touch hearts across generations and remain with viewers far after it comes to a close.
