Art of Metropolis
/Metropolis is an animation movie directed by Rintaro, written by Katsuhiro Otomo and produced by Madhouse with conceptual support from Tezuka Productions, in 2001. The anime is loosely based on the homonym 1949 manga created by Osamu Tezuka, itself inspired by the 1927 German silent film of the same name, though the two do not share plot elements (the anime, however, does draw aspects of its storyline directly from the 1927 film).
