What happens

Taotao is a Japanese animated series that aired for a total of 52 episodes on TV Osaka. The first series aired from October 7, 1983 through March 30, 1984. A second series with the same title was aired from October 9, 1984 through April 9, 1985. Prior to the TV series, a feature-length animated film was released on December 26, 1981. It is not specified if the series was intended to be connected with the film and, if so, if the series takes place before the film or after it (e.g. in another realm). Both the film and the TV series were produced as a co-production between China, Japan and Germany, and directed by Shuichi Nakahara and Tatsuo Shimamura. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
