Bagi, the Monster of Mighty Nature

Directed by Osamu Tezuka

Starring Saeko Shimazu, Kazuhiko Inoue

In 1984 the Japanese government approved gene recombination experiments. Baggy is Tezuka’s response. A cute kitten escapes a lab, and is befriended by lonely child Ryosuke. Years later, he joins her in a quest that’s part spaghetti Western, part contemporary adventure.
