🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Bright, fast, overflowing with detail — one of those animated films where you need to pause to examine the background. The creators put more into each frame than required.
Visually — a celebration. Story-wise — honest and without sugar. Children will connect on the surface level, adults on the deeper one. A rare combination.
For the whole family, especially those who remember watching cartoons as children. The nostalgia here works honestly.
Director: Soichi Masui
