The animation is suprising fluid!. I thought it would have looked more outdated by now. Thanks for uploading!

Just as it was getting exciting, and I was gonna find out what the big rock monster thing looked like, it finished!! Please upload the next little bit, I want to see what he looks like!!  That little boy is pretty tough, or alternatively, the wolves are really rubbish!! The lad reminded me slightly of Astro Boy, not sure why though!! 
Good quality upload, thanks for doing it!!
I've got the DVD. While it's pretty dated '60s material (the people seem to live in a hippie commune, for example), it's really a very good story.
As you noticed with the Astro-boy resemblance, I got the same feeling myself. The artwork reminds me quite a bit of the late Isamu Tezuka's work. The early formations of Ghibli storytelling, though, do come through in places. Miyazaki's attention to detail also comes out with the water spray. This film used over 150,000 individually drawn frames--unprecedented at the time in Japanese animation. Only Disney routinely did full 24fps animation for its feature-length films.
I can tell you without spoiling anything that the rock monster looks very much like the Rockbiter in Neverending Story.

UPDATE: I've uploaded the entire movie to YouTube. It's available on my blog, split into 10 parts, 8:00 each. It was a real pain to put this all together, so I hope you enjoy it.
On a side note, I'm also adding download fansub links for Lupin III ('71-2), 3000 Leagues in Search of Mother (eps 1-7), Future Boy Conan, and Anne of Green Gables. I'll try to add Horus and The Flying Ghost Ship later. Enjoy!

This is a bit off-topic, but...what did you think of the "Flying Ghost Ship"? I've only seen the Russian dub w/ English subtitles, and while I can say that it was decent, I don't think it was as good as any of the other classic Toei Doga films that involved Miyazaki that I've seen. Certain scenes did remind me of later Miyazaki works such as "Farewell, Beloved Lupin", "Future Boy Conan", and even "Laputa", however, and Miyazaki's involvement in idea construction and design, while not as substantial as that in "Puss in Boots" or "Animal Treasure Island", is good enough. I really don't know what else to say, except that while some parts of it were as tacky as a Hanna-Barbera cartoon (for example the soda drink called "Boa Juice" in the Russian dub that causes people to dissolve), for the most part I though the movie was fairly enjoyable and interesting and a good step towards the style of modern Japanese animation.

Well, Flying Ghost Ship was one of those low-budget b-movies Toei started cranking out in the late '60s, and it really represents a point of the studio's real decline. Within a couple years, all the major talent had jumped ship, and Toei never really recovered (despite a couple late-era movies like Taro the Dragon Boy and Puss in Boots 2).
If it weren't for Miyazaki's involvement, and the fact that elements from the movie reappeared in Conan and the Farewell, Lupin episode, I don't think we would bother to waste the time. Also, doesn't the Boa Juice remind Futurama fans of Slurm?
It's cheesy and short, pretty good fodder for MST3K fans. Rooby-Roo!
