SHONEN SARUTOBI SASUKE

Otherwise known as 'Magic Boy', a Japanes anime movie from 1959(?). Saw this in the Phillipines when i was there in `59-`60; don't remember much, except parts were quite scary to a six year old boy. From what i recall, it had to do with evil witches who destroy a small village and kill everyone except a small baby who is adopted by a wizard (or something along those lines). He learns magic and gets revenge of the evil witches. Wish i could find it on dvd (or even vhs) to see if it really was as terrifying as i remember. Anybody else seen this movie; what did you think?
