From the outstanding Internet web site isegoria.net we have a very interesting item with the military dimension.

"The first Japanese feature-length animated film was made for the the Japanese Naval Ministry in 1944"

As posted https://www.isegoria.net | September 1st, 2023.

"The first Japanese feature-length animated film — the first animé — doesn’t get much attention these days, even though it’s beautifully made, in a Disney-inspired style, because the film, Momotaro: Sacred Sailors, or Momotaro’s Divine Sea Warriors, was made for the the Japanese Naval Ministry in 1944 and released in 1945, a few months before Japan surrendered "

Go see the entire video courtesy You Tube:

"[First Anime Movie] 1945 Momotaro's Divine Sea Warriors English Subtitles"

"First Animé  film ever produced, directed by Mitsuyo Seo, who was ordered to make a propaganda film during World War II by the Japanese Naval Ministry."

"Animé is a genre of hand-drawn and computer-generated animation originating from Japan. Outside Japan and in English, animé  refers specifically to animation produced in Japan."

Indeed! Read of the Japanese Special Naval Landing Forces from the era of the Second World War. A ranger/commando type special operations unit. Sailors with infantry training plus.

Outstanding animation! The Japanese hardly just clever imitators of Walt Disney productions.
