| In Japan, anime titles are often released
for the theatre. They are usually very successful, often beating
out films starring real actors at the box office. A movie based on
Cutey Honey Flash, produced by TOEI Animation premiered at the TOEI Anime
Fair in the summer of 1997. Because of the high cost of producing an animated
film (the quality of the animation is much higher), anime movies tend to
run anywhere from 30-60 minutes, and are often paired with another short
film.
The Cutey Honey Flash film is approximately
40 min and was paired with "Hell Teacher Nube ",
another TOEI film.
The film plays out like a nicer looking episode of the television series,
but with more sexual jokes and nudity: you see Honey's full transformation
each time, and one of her forms, Jungle Honey is topless. |
