ok will you fucks please clear something up for me?
Does anybody remember this movie? I absolutely adored it when i was a kid, it's a fountain of nostalgia for me. I recently dug up the VHS for it and i was about to get stoned and watch this on my old tv in my room and cry of nostalgia, but that was before i read the wikipedia entry for it. Apparently it has been alleged that numerous kittens and puppies were killed during the making, and many of the scenes are very strenuous and frightening for the animals. now these rumors are completely unfounded mind you, but they still haunt me deeply. just to imagine myself at 6 years old watching this movie blissfully unaware of a potential kitten holocaust puts fucking knots in my stomach. I youtubed a bit and the scenes are definitely not animal friendly, but i cant pinpoint a moment where the animal could have died... i just dont know fellas. My mind is swirling. what do you think? is this movie evil? is my childhood ruined forever? or is it all just sensationalism?
Classic banger

this movie was made by the japanese.
I feel like if the rumors were confirmed for me, I could actually honestly say I hated the japanese.

Yes, many animals were killed, but they were eaten and no part of their bodies was wasted.

Of course animals were hurt. How do you think they got all the shots they needed? You think all the animals just cooperated?
The entire "Japanese slaughtered a kennel of puppies to make a movie" meme is just that. There are no legitimate records or evidence of abuse, the story started from some Australian animal rights group completely unrelated to a japanese movie production
It says a lot about people's latent racism that they are so quick to believe that the Japanese are inhuman animal killers
any internet search result points towards countless animal deaths for that production. pretty sure it's confirmed.
i've never watched it (outside of trailers), but i only know of it because the original japanese version features a GOAT soundtrack by ryuichi sakamoto:

Loved this movie growing up.
Apparantly some dogs were eaten by bears and some pets had to be thrown over waterfalls. Heartless Japs

I heard they snapped the puppy's leg to make it look like he was limping... Or was it the kitten.

Yeah now if were a Thai movie production or hell Korean then maybe.
>>71211656
They are, there's no denying it.

I tried to listen to this but could only tolerate it for about 0.8 sec until I Alt+F4 it.
there's an easy way to find out, is there a "no animals were harmed" disclaimer at the end of the credits?

None on the Japanese version, US version has a generic "All animals were treated with utmost care" notice with no AHA approval. So yeah, a shitload of kittens probably died.
