A Gamera Christmas – Kadokawa Daiei Meets Rankin/Bass!
There are no greater Christmas specials than the old Rankin/Bass stop-motion classics. So many memories! So many enduring characters! It’s impossible to not have your heart warmed by the fantastical denizens that inhabit the claymation world!
But what if… What if Kadokawa Daiei Motion Picture Co. brought Gamera and Gyaos into the mix as a way of making Gamera and company even more endearing to children?!?
Find out what would happen in this special “Lost Film” below. Thanks to The Foywonder for bringing this to our attention!
Synopsis:
In 1968, Daiei studios commissioned a Gamera Christmas film with acclaimed stop-motion animation studio Bankin/Rass. Unfortunately, Bankin/Rass went out of business before the film could be finished, and no footage from the film has ever been released… Until now!
