Jamison P This film was a pleasant surprise, it reminds me of Romeo and Juliet but instead of love being the passion that binds two unlikely characters together it’s their friendship. The story may be basic for some older audience members however, still shines in its artistic style and corny jokes, which I found amusing. The best this movie has to offer is a wholesome friendship that is portrayed sweetly through word of mouth or through a few actions seen on screen. Ultimately this film is worth a watch but may vary depending on if you find the basic plot amusing, which is of course goat and a wolf becoming friends and the conflict that comes about because of that.

A goat named Mei wanders into a barn one stormy night. Mei hears the sound of another 'goat' in the barn, (but unexpectedly a wolf.) His name is Gabu. Since they can't see or smell each other, they think of themselves as their own species. They plan to meet up the next day to have a picnic, and since they don't know what they look like, they make up a special code which was one stormy night. When Mei arrives the next day, he finds out Gabus a wolf, and Gabu finds out Meis a goat. This makes it hard for Gabu to eat Mei, and Mei being brave for some reason. Gabu considers Mei his best friend, even if Mei is prey or not. The two stay friends until Gabu's wolf pack finds out that he befriended a goat and same goes for Meis Clan finding out he befriended a wolf. Gabu's wolf pack takes Gabu's punishment more seriously than Mei's by making Gabu die. But, Gabu has one life left if he kills Mei. The two friends meet up the next day, and they come across a river to cross. Since their Clans and Packs want them to break apart, the two jump into the river instead to escape them not being friends. They go off a waterfall and Gabu seems to survive, along with Mei. Although the two are happy together, Gabu's wolf pack is coming to kill Mei Gabu. Mei predicts that behind a mountain that they came across would be a green forest for goats and wolves to live. Gabu agrees with the idea and they trek to the mountain. Unexpectedly it starts to snow once they reach the top of the mountain, which forms into a blizzard overnight. Gabu saves Mei from almost freezing to death. Mei tells Gabu to eat him and go across the mountain in good health. Gabu refuses, but he decides to never come across Mei again. Instead of eating Mei, Gabu comes across his wolf pack again. He fights them in the snow until Gabu and the wolves are confronted by an avalanche that piles the wolves, and Gabu steams to bump his head, forgetting all the stuff he did with Mei. The next morning Mei finds the green forest. He then finds Gabu shortly after. Although Gabu tells Mei he's going to kill and eat him. Mei tells Gabu to remember, but Gabu doesn't know, even he forgot his identity. Mei tells Gabu he wish he never met one stormy night, and all the memory rushes back to Gabus head, and they stay friends forever. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Different style of animation than I usually see with these films, but certainly gorgeous visually, which meets those high standards. The story reminds me of a fable and there certainly seems to be some Disney influences, maybe Looney Tunes too. There are some very cartoony moments. I don't see that very often in a generally serious anime. It touches on some deep themes, even for me as an adult, there's a certain scene that's difficult to even fathom. A touching tale of an unlikely, and unbreakable friendship. It had me in tears by the end. This is a gem of a film that deserves to be seen more. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I haven't really seen any animated movies lately that I can actually get emotionally invested into. This one really broke that streak, and I'm glad I discovered it. Too few animated movies manage to cature to both child and adult viewers alike, teh story is well written and the animation is great. I would recommend this (although I would be a little embarrassed to do so XD) Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Very good movie about friendship.
