Angel's Egg (Japanese: 天使のたまご, Hepburn: Tenshi no Tamago) is a Japanese animated experimental post-apocalyptic science fantasy OVA film written and directed by Mamoru Oshii. Released by Tokuma Shoten on 15 December 1985, the film was a collaboration between artist Yoshitaka Amano and Oshii. The film follows the bond between two nameless characters: a girl who protects an egg and a boy who has a dream about a bird. It was the first original project by Oshii and carries themes found in his other works. In a radical departure from Oshii's previous work, Angel's Egg features little spoken dialogue, with a heavily allegorical story steeped in ambiguous imagery and recurrent Biblical allusions. The film originally struggled financially upon release with many viewers being confused over its supposed meaning, but it has since received acclaim as a cult classic. A 4K remaster commemorating the film's 40th anniversary was screened at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. The film made $1.6 million worldwide from this re-release.
