Overview

Searched 2026-07-15 (web search. IMDb tt0064401 lists it as a 1969 documentary) - studio/director not confirmed yet. Re-searched 2026-07-26 (IMDb tt0064401 blocked 403. ja/en Wikipedia 1969 animation pages) - still no studio/director confirmed. Researched again : only candidate IMDb match found (tt0064401) is a 1969 documentary short about the real elephant Hanako at Ueno Zoo, not confirmed as stop-motion animation - flagging for a future pass to verify this belongs in the catalogue at all rather than setting studio/director from an unconfirmed match. Re-searched again : same IMDb documentary match repeats, no stop-motion studio/director source found. Tagged exhausted -- do not re-search without a new lead.
