SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

tolharu Its wonderful blend of brooding animation, coupled with a dizzying array of memorable disco music, makes this movie an instant classic and childhood favorite (of mine). The voice-acting, though a bit grating on the nerves, is tolerable. And the stories are told in a gripping and beautiful fashion, breathing new life into classical mythology. I was unaware, for a long time, that the movie was Japanese in origin; much like it's now esoteric successors (The Last Unicorn, for example), it's strange blend of artistic aesthetics seem at once universal, and nonspecific to any particular place or time. Definitely worthy of seeking out, if you can find a copy.

YouKnowMyName68 I've seen this movie in 1980 and knew that the original title was "Metamorphoses". It is a favorite of mine. I love the look of the design and just the whole take by the Japanese. I especially love the way Pegasus was designed! Reptillian like. I really, really, love this animated movie!!!! I favor this over Disney's style 'Hercules'! What the Japanese do as far as the visual look, it always seems to have a futuristic look about them! That's not even really what I meant. But, anyway, I just love there design sense. Very exciting and refreshing!! I am so glad that this is available for purchase. Although, it is 25 years ago, even now it holds up and inspires me. I have looked for this film for a long time, now.

clubdisco1979 This film/feature length music video before the days of music videos is a defiant gem! The music and lyrics, written & performed by disco producer/artist Alec R. Costandinos (Of "Romeo & Juliet", "Thank God It's Friday" & "I Found Love Now That I Found You" fame) fit every image in this great film. They are several short stories in great Japanese animation told about Greek myths..all with a point behind them to make you think. I would say this is a great film for the wide minded ages 13 - Adult. The narration helps along the story with the music. To give a good comparing, it's kinda like how Pink Floyd's "The Wall" tells its story through the music and video. This is a must have for any Alec R Costandinos fan or any Japanese animation collector. Unfortunately, like every other decent piece of film or music, the film and its album that went with it are long out of print. Used VHS copies can be found around the net sometimes as well as vinyl copies of the album.

redbeard_nv I saw "Winds Of Change" when it was first called "Metamorphosis". The biggest difference was the total lack of dialogue. This original version did not feature the Peter Ustinov narration, standing alone on the musical score and the imagery.Comparing the two, the earlier version fares better. I enjoy Ustinov's wit, but it wasn't necessary here (except in the minds of some narrow minded distributors, perhaps, who forced the narration on Takashi).It's like "The Thief And the Cobbler". I love Johnathan Winters, but there was no need for his ad-libbing.Unfortunately, it is another great work of animation sentenced to moritorium hell, like many of Takashi's fellow pioneers of Anime. Just try to find "Gulliver's Travels Beyond The Moon" ("Gariba no uchu ryoko"), "Alakazam the Great" ("Saiyu-ki") or even Nelvana's "Rock & Rule".
