The movie contained a veritable “Who’s Who” of Tezuka’s notable characters. Each one had an important role, and many of them had individual, intertwining stories which would overlap with everyone else’s. To coincide with the central theme of the charity program, the movie emphasized on the danger’s of environmental destruction, and that such disasters can be overcome by banding together.For the previous charity special in 1978, Osamu Tezuka and Tezuka Productions created One Million-year Trip: Bander Book. The year after, when the special was held again in 1980, Tezuka and Tezuka Productions created another film, Fumoon, based off of Tezuka’s manga called Next World.
Plot
The plot of Marine Express can be described in two parts. The first part focuses on the people boarding the train and the problems they encounter on the train. The second part takes place after the train has stopped at its half-way point, an island that used to be home to an ancient civilization millennia ago and has its fair share of secrets.
