See I vaguely remember watching an anime probably in the 80's where a dragon gave her eyes to feed a baby

and I have no idea what that movie was but man if I can find it I would watch the hell out of it

I think the dragon was dying or did die after giving up her eyes?

and I don't remember anything else about it so I couldn't tell you the premise outside of that

I'm wondering if anyone else remembers anything like that

hmm. do you remember the art style? like, did it feel out of the 80s or older?

it might have been older but I do want to say probably 80's style

definitely in color, so it sure could have been from the 70's as well

definitely wouldn't be 90's

was there a song in it by chance because i wonder if it’s this one Taro the Dragon Boy - Wikipedia

i remember seeing this because my brother kept renting it from a video store when we were kids

and i definitely remember a song in it

idr where else anime aired on tv beyond Toonami or Sci-Fi, buuuut if it was Sci-Fi on the anime saturdays, ANN has a list of everything it aired in the early 90s.

oh shit I think it might be Taro!

that dragon looks a little familiar

best I can figure is we likely rented it?

back in ye olden days when grocery stores rented movies

Taro: The Dragon Boy

ahh yeah that too haha. i saw a lot of anime through blockbuster or whatever

yeah exactly!

it would’ve been a tiny military base video store or corner of the grocery store or something

definitely an english dub though, i remember that song in english

A very old and forgotten Japanese Fairy Tale|| Taro ...

there's something very familiar about this animation style this might be it!

there’s the whole thing i think, here’s the song in englishTaro the Dragon Boy OP (1979)VHS Dub

time to enjoy some nostalgia

lmao how random if true, that this first random anime i watched as a smol child and barely remember is what you were thinking of

omg this has launched me into the nostalgia pipeline I definitely watched serendipity the pink dinosaur as well

😁

I'm so glad you remembered this is such a fun movie

😁 me too! i have it saved to watch later, i’m also gonna send it to my brother

yes good
