The Crane's Magic Gift (1967)

Uses animation to tell a Japanese fairy tale about an elderly couple who rescued a crane trapped on a snowcovered mountain and who were rewarded by a gift of beautiful cloth woven from the bird's own feathers.

It's one of THE most beautiful animations I have seen. Everything is perfect, perfect music, perfect
sound effects, perfect colours, perfect naration to keep the viewer/listener interested.
