What was the name of this special?

I remember seeing a special on some Chinese Youtube-like website where Tezuka was in some mansion with all his creations and he vanishes with all the characters looking for him. I don't know the details of it since it was in Japanese and not subtitled but I was wondering if anyone knew what this was called or where I could find it again.
Thanks

It's commonly called "The Last Mystery of the 20th Century", but I think the actual title of it is "Osamu Tezuka is Missing?! Last Mystery of the 20th Century".
If you want to learn more about it, you can ask F-Man.

You can buy a legit copy of it here for really cheap:

I've actually improved the subtitle file from the bootleg for it. You can load it over the DVD with MPC and AnyDVD.

If you're near Chinatown in Calgary - now, this is ridiculous, but listen - there's a shop on the perimetre of Chinatown called Go East Video that had several brand new copies of this special on DVD the last time I was there.
I did pick one up, though. It was region zero, and...get this...fifty cents.
Anyways! My copy is the same kind as the one F-Man linked to. If you're never going to be near Calgary, you might just want to go with his link. Although, watch out for how that one says it's region three, which might not work on American players, unless you modify WinDVD to play that region...

I am now very tempted. Bootleg probably, but very tempted...
I think it's better that I download though.

Yeah, by buying bootlegs you're just supporting pirates. You're better off downloading the bootleg online, which is even easier. The copy I linked to is legit, but yeah it is region locked, hence why I mentioned the need for AnyDVD (which isn't free, but totally worth it). Even AnyDVD also has free alternatives though.

No, I swear, it's not a bootleg, rather the official Chinese release. I inspected everything about it thoroughly after buying, and it's even got the little holographic Tezuka Productions emblem on the back of the jacket. The same with
Black Jack: Two Dark Doctors, which was also there.
I have no bloody idea why they'd all be fifty cents, though.

A lot of bootlegs have holographic emblems, I even got burned with a bootleg of Triton of the Sea that had one recently. If it is region-free it's almost 100% sure it's a bootleg. If it has English subtitles (you didn't say) then yeah it's absolutely sure. I'm almost sure this didn't get a release outside of Taiwan and Hong Kong though, or they'd be listed on Asian stores, and the two copies listed are region-locked.
