Description
Bara no Hana to Joe is a Sanrio production that blends the aesthetic of an anime art film with the playful energy of a Warner Bros. cartoon. The picture features imaginative visuals, a groovy 1970s jazz soundtrack, and very minimal dialogue. The story follows a dog named Joe who falls in love with a rose and vows to protect it from a mean‑spirited crow. The film contains energetic, Fritz Freleng‑style action sequences and concludes with an unexpectedly grim tragedy, while the anticipated outcome does indeed happen as expected.
