The anime medium has a long and complex history. Like any artistic medium, it is constantly growing and evolving, with creators building on what came before them and harnessing new technologies to push the medium in brave new directions. While hundreds of thousands of different shows and movies have been released over the years, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, in each decade, a handful of works stand out as the ones that defined that moment in time.Sometimes, this is because they innovate the medium or create a new model that all future anime series follow. Other times, it is because of how they are received, capturing the public zeitgeist and becoming deeply entwined in the era’s pop culture.The result was 1958’s Hakujaden, directed by Taiji Yabushita. The first feature-length anime film to be made in color, the film retells the classic Chinese folk tale Legend of the White Snake. The film would also be one of the first Japanese films to be shown in America, being dubbed and released as Panda and the Magic Serpent in 1961. This means that Hakujaden was a crucial step towards the modern anime industry.
