ONE MEMORY FROM MY CHILDHOOD

So about a week ago something happened to trigger a memory in my clouded brain of watching a movie about wolves and a stream and a fight with an old wolf on a rock. In the way of these things, once I'd remembered it, that was it, I had to know. Because I am tenacious and clever, I DUG IT UP.

I was convinced that what I was remembering was not the Jungle Book, based on my knowledge of the Disney version. I was wrong! So wrong. It was this Japanese anime version of Rudyard Kipling's book which somehow filtered into my tiny most-central-and-most-ethnically-white village-in-England childhood. How?! Does my brother remember it? Would my parents? Was it just me?

Sadly, now I have an absolute need to own it on DVD. The sad part is because the only places I can find to buy it are in Asia and they are seriously expensive, even for my profligate nature.

Oh well, at least there is still Youtube.
