''Undersea Super Train: Marine Express'' was a 1979 made-for-TV Japanese Animated film featuring characters from various Creator/OsamuTezuka manga. The whole thing is basically an AlternateUniverseFic except that it was made by the actual creator of the characters. (While Tezuka was already known for creating Expies of his own characters to reuse from one manga to the next, this movie (one of three) was created specifically for crossover purposes.) Among the characters involved are Anime/BlackJack, Anime/AstroBoy, The Manga/PrincessKnight, Manga/TheThreeEyedOne and Anime/KimbaTheWhiteLion.
