Heisei Inu Monogatari Bow: Genshi Inu Monogatari Bow

Aired: 1994

A theatrical spin-off of Nippon Animation's Heisei Inu Monogatari Bow, based on the manga by Terry Yamamoto and released in August 1994. The original mid-length film follows the beloved family dog Bow, who time-slips to prehistoric times, befriends primitive dogs and human ancestors, and learns about surviving in harmony with wild nature. Retaining the TV series' breezy charm while expanding the setting to a primordial world, it delivers a family-friendly comedy-adventure with a grander scale.
