The Emperor of Japan is scheduled to visit the small fishing village of Titipu for the annual cherry blossom festival. Unfortunately, during the ceremony the town tailor, Koko, winks at the pretty Kataisha, who is to be the wife of the Emperor’s son Nanki Poo. Koko is promptly arrested and thrown in a dark, dank dungeon and sentenced to death for disrespecting the Emperor. Things look bleak for Koko until Nanki Poo falls in love with the lovely Yum Yum, and Koko gets caught up in a scheme to deceive the Emperor.

Viewing Notes
Weird oddity to appear on Prime, an Australia made-for-TV animated version of THE MIKADO. Like really wild to watch this trainwreck. Since this was geared towards children I wonder if any actually got interested in the story and found a better version. Made in the early 70s this is more like a 60s hippie / flower children adaptation.
Oh also strange that this movie was completely absent from TMDb. It can’t be that rare given it has a fully completed IMDb listing. Anyways, I had to add the entire thing. Ugh
