Now that manga and TV anime have been made into movies, it is regarded as normal for their popular characters to appear on the big screen. Paving the way for this to happen were works created from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. The festival has collected the first wave of popular manga and TV anime that were turned into movies—Lupin the 3rd, Ginga Tetsudo 999, Makoto-chan, and Doraemon. All of these were the original works of manga masters.

While containing the basics of an entertainment piece enjoyed by TV viewers, the movie versions were spiced up a bit so that these popular characters could enchant audiences of the big screen in movie theaters.

The first step started with these works.
 
Gut wrenching laughter, unexpected tears, and thrilling excitement! You are sure to understand the reasons why these are masterpieces.
