Quote:ABF: Haven't seen the 1927 version, but the anime is very good (it's in a much older anime style, I think the anime itself is from the 40s or 50s). It's got a decent story (there was a lot that deserved some elaboration) and nice animation. Good music too.
Anime hadn't been invented yet then I think... and it's by the guy who essentially created anime with "Astro Boy", Osamu Tezuka, so yes, it does have an old style.
And the silent one is one of the sci-fi classics... the first great sci-fi film, I think.
