Wanpaku Ouji no Orochi Taiji (The Little Prince and the Eight-Headed Dragon)

We start the new year off with a Japanese film from Toei Animation! This one is about a boy named Susanoo and the quest he goes on to find his mother, which culminates in the titular battle against the Orochi! And to score the film, including that final battle, they employ Akira Ifukube, known for his work on the Godzilla franchise. Does all this add up to an engaging film, or a historical footnote?
