Usagi Yojimbo: A Life Of Mush Motion Comic

One of my favourite comic books, Usagi Yojimbo by Stan Sakai - the adventures of a lone samurai (ronin) rabbit, based loosely on the legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi and being heavily influenced by Akira Kurasawa's 1960 film Yojimbo - has been brought to life as a Dark Horse Comics Motion Comic.

Once a loyal retainer until his lord's death in battle, Miyamoto Usagi is now an unemployed ronin walking the warrior's pilgrimage, in search of harmony. In this tale, Usagi teaches a runaway boy that honor is more important to a samurai than fighting skills, but his swordsmanship ends up on display anyway when the boy accidentally sets a gang of bandits on him!
