Tako No Hone or The Octopus’ Bone, 1927.

The story is based on the traditional, Japanese myth of Urashima Taro; in which a fisherman is transported from the seashore into a fantastic underwater world on the back of a giant turtle.
A little girl is seen asleep in bed, a fish, is tucked in beside her, much like a teddy bear.
The following events can be understood as her dream. A daimyo, a feudal lord, in human form, is pictured on a platform.
The girl, in her bed, is beside him. He addresses an assembled group of human/fish hybrids in samurai garb; his loyal retainers.
They are depicted as realistic fish, which forms the 'head' on top of human bodies.
In the next scene, a sliding screen door opens and a flounder emerges. The flounder gives instructions to a sea bream who appears to generate a monkey by tossing his fan into the air.
The scene then shifts to an anthropomorphic octopus. He is also dressed as a samurai but presumably belongs to an opposing clan.
The octopus is driven out to sea on the back of a giant turtle.
On a small island, a group of monkeys dance in a circle.
The monkey pictured earlier is seen playing a banjo and eating a banana.
He is ambushed by the octopus. The two climb aboard the turtle and are taken back out to sea where they encounter a whale.
On top of the whale, the monkey and octopus resume their battle.
The octopus counters the monkey by spraying him with a cloud of ink.
As the whale rises, the turtle, octopus and monkey all fall back into the water.
The monkey is swallowed by the whale and squirted through its blow- hole, back on top his head.
In a parting insult, the monkey bares its rear end, as the octopus and turtle, retreat from the scene.
Frustrated, the octopus and turtle begin their own squabble.
In the titular scene, the octopus pulls his backbone out, to use as a weapon.
It breaks against the turtle's shell and the cartoon ends with both in tears.
