Synopsis:
Five young school friends set to spend a week together at summer camp avoiding the hassles of parental supervision unexpectedly find themselves on a truly out-of-this-world adventure when their class rabbit goes missing. Searching for their pet, the kids find and rescue what they believe to be an injured dog. As it turns out, the creature is actually a stranded alien named Pochi, who rewards their kindness with the offer of a trip to the moon! However, this simple sightseeing excursion to view the lunar landscape up close spins out of control and leads to a thrilling chase across the galaxy, with the five friends and their extra-terrestrial companion on the run from evil aliens intent on ruling the universe.
We like it because:
Stylistically reminiscent of Mamoru Hosoda’s “Summer Wars” with touches of Miyazaki’s “My Neighbour Totoro”, this is a stunning piece of animation that will thrill adults and children alike. If you’re a fan of Studio Ghibli but wished their output could be a little bit edgier in content, then this will be right up your street.
