Program Note
The first color-feature length animation of Korea. It was generally known the original print was lost but thanks to the resent restoration work, it’s back on the screen. The Japanese title appears on the screen since the restoration project was done with the print that was exported to Japan, and this is the evidence of a long journey that this film had to go through before it comes back on the screen in Korea. The story unfolds as prime minister’s illegitimate son builds his own ideal country Yuldo Kingdom and becomes a king. (Mina OAK)
