 Midnight Eye feature: Pioneers of Japanese Animation, part 2
The switch from the detailed but occasionally clumsy-looking techniques used by the 20s directors to the new levels of flexibility afforded by cel animation is most clearly demonstrated by Noboro Ofuji's reworking of the Urashima Taro story, Chinkoroheihei and the Treasure Box (Chinkoroheihei Tama Tebako, 1936).
The skirmish rapidly escalated into a full-blown conflict between the two countries, and Japan found it all the necessary to win the hearts and minds of its population to a new phase of expansionism.
The second was in its usage of folk tales from other countries, including two adaptations of Hans Christian Andersen's story The Little Match Girl in 1947: Sanae Yamamoto's impressive silhouette animation of the same name and Noboro Ofuji's Chinese-style rendition, Dream of a Snowy Night (Yuki No Yoru No Yume).

 Midnight Eye feature: Japanese Anime and the Animated Cartoon
Heavily orientalized as many of the prewar shorts and early Toei films were, Legend of the White Serpent is a remake of a Japanese version of a Chinese folk tale, a romantic look back at a fertile colonial territory that suddenly became inaccessible to Japanese citizens after the war.

In her quest to return to a new and uncertain home, Chihiro laboriously acts out anime's wandering steps as she struggles to gain a foothold while being cast into various identities by forces foreign and domestic.
