This was one of the movies/tvshows from my childhood, absolutely adorable and it's disappointing that it isn't literally everywhere If you want to be critical, it loosely has a story that it follows of the circus owner trying to get his panda back, and even has an adorable resolution at the end

Silly and fun Japanese animation, but it is certainly shows the beginnings of early Studio Ghibli in a positive way.

A very charming anime film with a laughably corny dub (funny because of Panda Papa's english voice)

One for small children, but still interesting to see the debut of Takahata/Miyazaki.

This film is so wonderfully idiotic. Mimiko is one of the most likable characters Miyazaki has ever written, and Takahata's direction is just icing on the cake. Again, it's incredibly dumb and silly in many ways, but if you're up for something dumb and silly, you will love this.

You don’t have to be an anime-head to appreciate these early-career shorts by the founders of Studio Ghibli.

Children and fans of anime are likely to get a kick out of the film, and the catchy theme song will bounce around your brain for days.
