1936 (1934) ****

A 1934 Japanese propaganda cartoon set in 1936. A swarm of evil, bat-riding Mickey Mouse clones descend on a tiny island inhabited by peace-loving dolls and cats. Overwhelmed by the attack, the desperate island residents bang on the cover of a large picture book to enlist the help of traditional Japanese fairy tale heroes. Original full title: "Omochabako series dai 3 wa: Ehon 1936 nen" ("Toy Box Series #3: Picture Book 1936").
