Neo Tokyo (1987) Movie Review

Neo Tokyo (1987) (IMDB)

Neo Tokyo movie poster

This Japanese animated movie is a trilogy of stories, with the first called "Labyrinth labyrinthos” where a young girl and her cat escape into a odd world they get to through a large clock. The world has flashes of long hallways and pathways that make it seem like a maze, but things tend to transform quickly in this fantasy space. We also get a big top and lots of clowns. The point of the story ? I’m not really sure, but everything looks great. The second story is about a racer, and the last story is about a man working with construction worker robots. To me, the last story feels more relevant today than back in 1987 as AI and robots become more and more advanced.

Overall everything looks great, but it is a bit weird and the first 2 stories are lacking.

I give it a 6/10.
