Logan D Two young crab persons journey to find their father. A young boy struggles with an egg allergy. An office worker is invisible to everyone else. Produced by Studio Ponoc, it's no surprise the three tales in this anthology have the feel of a Studio Ghibli film. Ponoc was founded by former Ghibli animators. All three tales are accessible to younger viewers but there's plenty to resonate with adult audiences, especially the last segment. This is what animation is meant for, conveying powerful emotions and themes via the medium. My favorite: "Invisible" (the last) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/23/25 Full Review Audience Member On of those meaningful anime. It has a good moral value and so calming. Became one of my comfort movie. Must watch! I don't really like kimi no nawa bcus I don't see a deep meaning from that movie or I just don't get it. But this one is good. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review Jhosep G The animation and art is really cute, and appealing. The shorts might seem like they're made for kids, but the themes, messages and struggles they portray are relatable for anyone between the ages of 0 and 100. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review Laura S Definitely has a Ghibli vibe. The first story is maybe visually the most ambitious but the two other stories hit emotionally harder. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
