World Masterpiece Theater
- World Masterpiece Theater
(the official English name given by Nippon Animation is "The Classic Family Theater Series" [http://nipponanimation.com/catalogue/cata_theater.html] ) is a Japanese TV anime staple that showcased each year an animated version of a different classical book or story, which originally aired from 1975 to 1997 then resumed on 2007. It was produced by Nippon Animation, with it airing primarily on Fuji Television. Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata both worked on several of the series. The "World Masterpiece Theater" lasted for 23 seasons, from "A Dog of Flanders" in 1975 to "Remi, Nobody's Girl" (家なき子レミ, "Ie Naki Ko Remi", "Sans Famille") in 1997. It was restarted again in 2007 by Nippon Animation with the release of "", which premiered across BS Fuji from January 7, 2007. Then, "Porufi no Nagai Tabi" (The Long Journey of Porphy) is airing in BS Fuji since January 6, 2008, thus making it the 25th World Masterpiece Theater series.
Only a few series were ever dubbed in English for the American market, including "Tom Sawyer" (1980), "" (1981), and "Little Women" (1987). The anime satellite television network, Animax, who also later aired numerous installments of the series across Japan, also later translated and dubbed numerous of the series' installments into English for broadcast across its English-language networks in Southeast Asia and South Asia, such as "Princess Sarah" (小公女セーラ, "Shōkōjo Sēra"), "Remi, Nobody's Girl" (家なき子レミ, "Ie Naki Ko Remi"), "Little Women" (愛の若草物語, "Ai no Wakakusa Monogatari"), and others. The serials also found success in Europe, with "Anne of Green Gables" (1979, Miyazaki's last work for Nippon Animation before leaving the studio), "Heidi, Girl of the Alps" and "Princess Sarah".
