The Fantasy of the Deer Warrior (Limiterad Slipcover Blu-ray)

Numrerad och limiterad slipcover! The peaceful animals of a Taiwanese forest live in harmony until a pack of wolves launches a brutal attack. Uncle Deer sacrifices himself defending the community and sends word to his son, the Deer Warrior.
