It's a morality tale. What I learned: 1. Humans are terrible, awful, short-sighted and greedy creatures. 2. Don't *u** with the gods. Not the earliest of animated works I've seen from China, but this is pretty early. A self-contained tale in about twenty minutes. The artwork is very, very stylized and animation equally stylized with exaggerated movements. The story itself is pretty straightforward, as a magical deer saves some humans, the pampered empress gets word, and they go out hunting for the deer, tricking it to come out. But if there's one thingyou should never do, it's go back on your word, if you value your life.
