Wikipedia article
(also known as 'Band of Ninja') is a 1967 Japanese film directed by Nagisa shima. It is based on Sanpei Shirato's manga 'Ninja Bugeich'. Rather than being an animated adaption, shima decided to simply shoot the panels of the manga in order, adding narration and zooming and panning techniques.
Plot
The son of a murdered feudal lord meets a renegade ninja helping peasants and farmers rebel against Oda Nobunaga.
