Poster design
A wonderfully chaotic, festival-era Toei composite design: the bold masthead 東映まんがまつり crowns a colourful character collage that mixes tokusatsu heroes/monsters with cute animation characters, while the lower section is anchored by five vivid vertical title panels listing the programme films (including 魔法のマコちゃん, おやゆび姫, ゴーゴー仮面ライダー, 宇宙猿人ゴリ対スペクトルマン, and アリババと40匹の盗賊). A superb, highly displayable piece of early-1970s Japanese kids’ cinema culture in the scarce speed-poster format.
It is over 54 years old!
