A piece of Phantasmagoria is an animated series, collected in a film, directed by Shigeru Tamura for Bandai Visual. A visionary OAV, very particular as well as its animations, a dreamlike experience.

The film, dated 1995, is inspired by a book of illustrations, dating back to 1989, consists of 15 episodes, characterized by a very simplistic and childlike graphics, but at the same time capable of upsetting what we consider ordinary and common, transforming it into a dream.

The single episodes, apparently unrelated to each other, tell the life or adventure of an inhabitant of the fantastic planet "Phantasmagoria", it is only encountered by crossing the "Kingdom of dreams".

Each inhabitant has a function, a "job", described by the narrators Morio Agata and Kaori Kano, accompanied by the music of Utollo Teshikai, in a simple, banal, common, but in reality extraordinary way, as if to evoke a fairy tale.

a piece of phantasmagoria

The film has no plot, is intentionally meaningless, its purpose is to illustrate every single region of the planet, in a clear way, how it is presented to a child.

Film that I recommend if you want to return to dream, to find your own little planet, named "Phantasmagoria".
