Anime was invented more than 100 years ago, but almost all of the first anime films ever made are gone. Why?
A They were lost when a powerful earthquake hit Japan.
B They were given to world leaders as gifts.
C They were stolen by art thieves and sold to rich art collectors.
D They were destroyed during World War II.
The correct answer is D They were destroyed during World War II.
During World War II, many valuable films and artworks were lost due to bombings, neglect, and destruction caused by the war. This included early anime films, which were not preserved adequately at the time. As a result, much of Japan’s early animation history was tragically lost.
