The Tree of LifeGreat animated movie, it's 20 years old now, Windaria is an anime of adventure, drama, war, and tragedy .
The mountainous kingdom of Paro (the Shadowlands) and the coastal city-state of Itha (Lunaria) had been at peace for over a century. They would have remained that way but for the ambitions of Paro's power-hungry king. Despite the love between Ahanas (Roland), Paro's prince, and Jill (Veronica), Itha's princess, a viscous assault is launched. Caught between duty and emotion, the star-crossed lovers must fight a war to its bitter conclusion.
When Isu (Alan), a simple farmer from the neutral village of Saki (the Valley), saves Itha from being destroyed by a spy from Paro, he finds himself hungering for wealth and glory that the Ithan monarchy cannot provide. Agents from Paro make him an offer he feels he can't refuse, despite the protests of Marin (Marie), his dedicated and loving wife...
In this world, peoples spirits turn into red birds at death and fly off to an air ship and the Enlightenment they've earned. The Tree of Windaria (The Tree of Life), located between the embattled kingdoms, is said to bring only good memories to those who live under it's branches, including the inhabitants of Saki. But by the time the senseless war is over, memories may be all that remain...
In 1987, Harmony Gold brought Windaria to the U.S., changing the title to Once Upon A Time, trimming the movie from its 101 running time. Streamline Pictures issued this version on video in 1992 (titled, ironically, as Windaria). This edited dub (attacked by critics and Anime fans) altered the plot drastically (the script was rewritten by Carl Macek), switched scenes around, gave the entire cast American names, and even added narration provided by Russell Johnson (of Gilligan's Island fame). ADV Films has reissued this version on DVD in 2004.
This is the original 101 minute, uncut, unedited version with English subtitles.
