I did a search, but I obviously forgot the spaces as it's normally one word, but is split into multiple words for this site.

Was it created by Yoji Kuri?

...are we really going down the "pre-1970s" route? Because that way lies madness.

Roast skunk and

Right now I'm thinking that it's has to be at least pre-1980.

Besides, you asked if it was in monochrome and if it was a talkie earlier.

Aye, but I haven't got an answer to that yet. We'll see...

Do any human characters speak in the movie? No

Is the movie in monochrome? No

Was the movie commissioned by the Japanese government? No

Does it have anything to do with ABBA? No

Has it been translated into English? (whether it's by fansub or by official translation) Yes

Does it have a ANN page? No

Does it have an Ani DB page? Yes

Was it created by Yoji Kuri No

Round 297: No, Dorkus, it's not that.

Hint: I Dreamed A Dream

Hint: This is even harder than round 216. Much harder.

Variant: Guess the anime's name, not a song.

Variant: You can only ask questions about dates after 50 facts

I would like to completely prohibit calendar questions, but then you might never get it, so I'll allow them if this really turns out to be as hard as I'm hyping it to be. If this turns out to be the hardest round ever, I'll stop it as soon as it reaches 70 facts.

Actually, ANN is back online.

Thank you. It's working now.

Strange. Have you tried clearing your cache?

EDIT: No problem. Don't forget to add "Not fantasy", "Not mecha" and "Not TV series" to your list.

I already answered those questions. Thenamelesssamurai asked if it was a series, and if it was a fantasy or mecha series. The first answer is no, which makes the other answers unnecessary. I don't record unnecessary answers.
