Sankichi the Monkey: The Storm Troopers (1934) User Reviews

This cartoon from Japan is a bit too brief but is somewhat interesting

This was a Japanese cartoon (whose title translated means "Sankichi the Monkey: The Storm Troopers") that runs a little more than two minutes that depicts a war between the monkeys and polar bears. You see each team using cannons and bayonets in battling each other. Animation is by Mitsuyo Seo with music (at least the one I heard on YouTube) by Joichi Yuasa. Pretty fascinating movements of the giant bullets in their cartoony way. Not really much of a plot, just plenty of constant action between the polar bears and the monkeys with the monkeys being the winning Japanese soldiers. I'd recommended this mainly to animation buffs curious about anything made from this Asian country.
