Synopsis
In ancient times, a Persian merchant gets lost in a windstorm. Suddenly a spiritual deer of nine colors appears to guide the man. Later on, the deer rescues a man drowning in a river. In exchange, the man promises not to reveal the deer's whereabouts. The man reaches an imperial palace. The king insists on hunting down the spiritual deer down to make clothes out of the deer skin. The man gives in to his greed and leads an army of warriors to the spot. He falls into the river again, hoping the deer will show up to rescue him. This time, all the warriors' arrows turn into dust and the man is drowned. (Source: Wikipedia)

It's a morality tale. What I learned: 1. Humans are terrible, awful, short-sighted and greedy creatures. 2. Don't *u** with the gods. Not the earliest of animated works I've seen from China, but this is pretty early. A self-contained tale in about twenty minutes. The artwork is very, very stylized and animation equally stylized with exaggerated movements. The story itself is pretty straightforward, as a magical deer saves some humans, the pampered empress gets word, and they go out hunting for the deer, tricking it to come out. But if there's one thingyou should never do, it's go back on your word, if you value your life.
