I decided to do a review on this short film because i really enjoyed it and lets just say it did not disappoint from its parent anime film my neighbour totoro. like all spin offs i thought that this short film would be a let down to its parent film as my neighbour totoro was unique and did not need a spin off however i was wrong the storyline flowed from its parent film aswel as making yet another unique film.However i wished it could have been longer but then again not all things last forever. secondly the art like all studio ghibli films was just amazingand the creativeness like in my neighbour totoro just amazed me how they used the art to portray certain events.
thirdly the sound did lack in some areas in my opinion in certain areas in the film i think it could have been more dramatic making a more deeper climax but i think that the art made up for this and balanced it out.
In this short anime spin off the characters had lovely bonds carrying on from its parent anime and i also think this spin off helps the audience gain more understanding in this bond beetween making my neighbour totoro also seem more understood.
as you can probley gather i really enjoyed this anime i would really recommend it if you love anime with nice art qualities,a fan of studio ghibli and if you liked the parent anime my neighbour totoro. However this was a special anime aired at the studio ghibli museum for a limited amount of time and ive herd from alot of people that its hard to find but i think its worth it.
i hope this review helped ^_^
