The Legend of Sirius (The Sea Prince and The Fire Child) - English Dubbed

moral of the story: "star crossed we may be, but our love will live for all eternity"

The sea prince looks like the fire child while the fire child looks like the sea prince(ss)

cartoon writers of today should watch these old shows because back then ones like these were an example of QUALITY over quantity

"The water is the enemy of the flame" So we keep it in this damp cave above a giant pool.

Romeo and Juliet of fire and water.

moral of the story: don't be late

I found this movie through a Lana Del Rey soundtrack demo, and watched it solely because the water child looks like my bf

My father bought it for me in VHS when I was 5. That was in 1988. It taught me the power of forbidden love. It taught me about how two creatures from totally different worlds could easily fall in love when they broke free from the false stereo types and fears that their communities instilled in them. Its so sad but yet beautiful. I began sharing this movie with my two children earlier today.

I always felt sorry for Pialay. She loved Malta so much and was so ignored the whole film only to lose Malta at the end.

Sanrio made a geniune masterpiece back then! The English voice of Prince Syrius, Tony Oliver, is awesome! I am pleased that Columbia Pictures released it on VHS in the US uncut and uncensored back in 1982! Proof that Anime is good as such with no censorship!

Sirius went blind from looking at the eclipse, so he couldn't see Malta at the end. Real life lesson, kidos. Wonder if he thought her voice was real or a delusion?

Remember as well as these characters being like people they are also personifications of fire (Sirius and his ocean dwellers) and water (Malta and her fire beings). So in translation they are not related in an family way but in an elemental way brother and sister is a reference to them being part of the same whole as a element. Moelle referred to the sprites of water and fire as brother and sister as well so it is not just the two lovers who are referenced. For example the sun and the moon as anthropomorphic characters could be called father and mother but they are still just celestial bodies. Hope I cleared this up a little. 

just now i thought i saw an aquatic peter pan

xD Halfway through the movie. "Why can't we be together!?" "Because you're cousins." But all jokes aside that was sad ;-;,

Why isn't more stuff like this on Netflix?  Thanks uploader!

This animation was so mistic and maybe the most magical i ever saw from a Japanese company

im guessing Malta was the inspiration for the Winx fairies 

Ok, I fell in love this story, way better then Original Romeo and Juliet. They have a fairy tales, between Water and Fire and that make me cry. I know this happen end the story, I have feeling they have same story. I want that book so bad.

I actually have a physical VHS copy from the video store I drove by and they threw it in the trash that day but gave to me because I desperately requested it by name.

Finally I found this movie, searching since YouTube start. I was so in love with this movie when I first watch it I was 9 year's old, now I am 49. So much powerful really love is...
