Quotes:
Magician:
Way up there on a mountain top lives a hermit, who is the only one who can teach you the magic that you seek to learn. But the mountain is too *high* for a little *boy* to climb.
Sarutobi Sasuke: I will climb it. And see the hermit. He will teach me magic. But who are you?
[turns around]
Sarutobi Sasuke: Hmm? He's gone!

I saw this movie on the big screen when I was 9 years old. The witch was as scary and impressive as the one in Sleeping Beauty. The boy's progression through learning magic was inspiring that all things are possible.
I continue to hope that this classic is not lost forever.
