Explanation

Natsuyasumi Ninki Anime Matsuri Arale-chan Ikka Sôtôjô 1000-nen Joô no Shôtai wa!?” (Summer Festival of Popular Anime: Arale-chan's Family Show Up!! Who is Really Queen Millennia?) is a one-hour special program that aired on the Fuji TV network from 8pm on Saturday, July 25, 1981. This special program features a crossover between characters from “Dr. Slump Arale-chan” and “Shin Taketori Monogatari 1000-nen Joô” (Queen Millennia).

This program is divided into two main parts. In the first half, the “Dr. Slump Arale-chan” segment depicts bank robber Joe Dan being chased by police, taking refuge in Barber Soramame, and holding everyone hostage. The second half is the “1000-nen Joô” segment, which is a compilation of the first 10 episodes of the series, with the final scene showing Hajime Amamori being rescued from Mirai.

New animation scenes were produced for this special. They feature Arale and Gatchan from “Dr. Slump,” and Yayoi Yukino and Hajime Amamori from “1000-nen Joô” visiting each other's worlds. Scenes include the Queen Millennia’s gondola (the spacecraft that had not yet made an appearance in the “1000-nen Joô” TV series) crashing into the Norimaki household during a battle, and Arale and friends appearing in the world of “1000-nen Joô.”

“Natsuyasumi Ninki Anime Matsuri” was rebroadcast on March 11, 1982.
