The 1999 Summer Toei Anime Fair (年99夏東映アニメフェア Nen 99 Natsu Toei Anime Fair) was a three-part animated anthology released only in Japan. It was released in theaters on 31 July 1999. The anthology was composed of short films based on toy properties held by Takara. Despite being branded prominently in the anthology's title, Toei only distributed the film and did not animate the segments themselves. This was part of a series of Toei Anime Fairs that ran from 1990 to 2002 which generally featured Toei-produced programs.
Synopsis
[edit]The 1999 Summer Toei Anime Fair was composed of three segments.
Beast Wars Metals: Convoy's Great Transformation!
[edit]"Beast Wars Metals: Convoy's Great Transformation!" (ビーストウォーズメタルス コンボイ大変身!, Beast Wars Metals: Convoy Dai Henshin!) was the Japanese dub of the Beast Wars episode "Cutting Edge". It was preceded by several clips, prominently from "Optimal Situation", to establish Optimus Primal's new body. Because it was released theatrically, the episode's placement in the Beast Wars Metals television series was taken by a newly crafted clip show, "Remix: I Forgot the Banana!". Due to the relatively late theatrical release, the episode was not included on Pioneer's Japanese DVD box set of Beast Wars Metals.
Tiny Giant Microman: Great Battle! Microman VS the Unstoppable Gorgon
