ID this Movie - Flying Whales, an Egg and last man on earth

ok, here’s what i remember:

it is from early 80’s and is a mix of segments of ‘real’ action and animation

the ‘real’ stuff is a story of after the apocalypse, a guy wearing breathing gear searches through a world full of rubble for oxygen cannisters.

the animation is a dark city with whalers hunting flying whales.
the main part however is a young character who has a ‘magical’ egg and is trying to protect it.

at the end the two overlap and the egg ends up with the ‘last man’ and it gives out oxygen = everything now ok.

i’ve tried googling but all it gives is hits for fantasia2000 which apparently has a flying whale in it?
cheers

I took the liberty of posting your question on the IMDB board, and someone immediately recognized it as Tenshi no Tamago, aka “Angel’s Egg.”

I think you mean this one, ES-HT.
