Synopsis

It's a Sanrio picture that feels partly like an anime art film and partly like a Warner Bros. cartoon. The film features some very creative imagery, a groovy 70's jazz score, and very little spoken dialogue. It's a story about a dog named Joe that falls in love with a rose and protects it from a mean-spirited crow. There's some energetic Friz Freleng style action, and also some unexpectedly grim tragedy.

First of all, the duration of Bara no Hana to Joe is less than half of Chirin no Suzu, yet in about 20 minutes, it manages to convey a rather ...

Wow, for a story based on a children's book, this is one downer of a story!

The short (20 minute) anime is definitely laid out like a young children's book, with a simple story and just three characters, simple backgrounds, and a kindly narrator that will speak a few sentences of story, followed by a minute or two of music, then more story.

It's about the love story between a young puppy dog and a giant anthropomorphic rose. Yes, you read that right. This is the trippy-dippy Seventies, after all, and why not a kiddie ...
