This is a 1940s PSA disguised as action cinema, made while the bombs were still falling. It watches like a fever dream now: urgent, propagandistic, genuinely trying to keep people alive in real time. The animation itself is a historical artifact of desperation, proof that even in wartime Japan, someone thought animation could save lives. You're not watching entertainment. You're watching a nation talking to itself in the only language it had left.

A wartime Japanese propaganda film with an educational purpose, set during American bombing raids on Japan. Its citizens, drawn as woodland animals, are urged to get to shelters when the attacks come. In one portion, Japanese planes shoot down incoming enemy aircraft, portrayed as an air force of wolves. The film also teaches how to put out different kinds of incendiary bombs and encourages everyone to help fight the fires they cause.
