The Monkey Fleet (1936)
This very brief cartoon from Japan whose title translated means "The Monkey Fleet" and runs little more than a minute has the Asian monkeys battling octopuses as they both go underwater with the simian animals riding in submarines shooting their torpedo bullets at the sea creatures.

The Worst Film Ever
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
This very brief cartoon from Japan whose title translated means "The Monkey Fleet" and runs little more than a minute has the Asian monkeys battling octopuses as they both go underwater with the simian animals riding in submarines shooting their torpedo bullets at the sea creatures. The battle scenes are pretty fascinating for animation done in the '30s but the fact that's all you see in such a very short film makes it filler in my eyes. The script was by Chuzo Aoji, with animation by Manzo Miyashita and music (the one I heard on YouTube, anyway) by Joichi Yuasa. Worth a look, anyway, for anyone fascinated by early Japanese animation. Or any animation buff at all.
