A bite-sized Saturday morning cartoon about an intergalactic superhero and her very smart slug colleague, Professor Genius, this new animated short film sees the titular character on the hunt for a rogue, motorcycle-riding ne\u2019er do well who has been kicking innocent (and not so innocent) bystanders across the galaxy. Hell. Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>The short is styled after the stop-motion animation of <strong>Rankin\/Bass<\/strong>, an American production company best known for its holiday specials (perhaps most famously: 1964\u2019s <em>Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer<\/em>). Using <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stopmotionmagazine.com\/rankinbass-productions-holiday-animatic-shows\/\">a single-frame animation technique known as \u201cAnimagic,\u201d<\/a>\u00a0 Rankin\/Bass\u2019 output has a distinctly round-edged doll-like look, a style that instantly conjures up a nostalgic, if slightly uncanny, tactility.<\/p>\n<p><em>Captain Yajima<\/em> takes this highly-specific animated language and dropkicks it into the adventure-riddled expanse of space, drawing from \u201c<strong>Tokusatsu<\/strong>,\u201d Japanese live-action television dramas typically in the sci-fi and fantasy mold \u2014 think, <em>Super Sentai<\/em>, a.k.a. the source material for the <em>Power Rangers<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Considering that the vast majority of Rankin\/Bass\u2019 stop-motion work was outsourced to an assortment of Japanese studios, the cultural crossover of\u00a0<em>Captain Yajima<\/em>\u00a0is particularly astute.
