A Japanese boy encounters a witch in his tranquil forest home. He travels far away to find a man who can teach him magic powers with which to defeat the witch. He leaves behind his sister, who is kidnapped by evil henchmen of the witch. The boy returns to save his sister, with help from a handsome prince. Simple story is enhanced by vivid animation, but hampered by comic relief and cutesy interludes with anthropomorphic animals. Americanized version has a terrible theme song by Danny Valentino.
