Kitakaze to Taiyou is a short film released in the 1960's that is based on the story "The North Wind and the Sun", a story from the time of the ancient Greeks by Aesop. To summarize the plot of the story, it concerns a competition between the North Wind and the Sun to decide which is the stronger of the two. The challenge was to make a passing traveler remove his cloak. However hard the North Wind blew, the traveler only wrapped his cloak tighter to keep warm, but when the Sun shone, the traveler was overcome with heat and soon took his cloak off. ... The moral it teaches is about the superiority of persuasion over force, which has made it a widely known tale from that time.
In terms of anime production and quality, it was meh. The sound quality is poor and they mostly use pastels and other textures to animate the movie, which doesn't help the poor video quality.
You can bang this out in 7 minutes, but don't expect anything too much from this short film. There aren't any subtitles for this anywhere, but if you understand the principle of the story, it's really easy to follow along.
