Synopsis
The Acorns and the Wildcat is a unique short film in picture-book format by the creator of Night on the Galactic Railroad and Gauche the Cellist. A narrator reads Kenji's story aloud while the action is depicted through a series of warm and evocative illustrations brought to life by subtle animation. The film's minimalist animation, directed by Yasuhiro Nagura, who also worked on Mamoru Oshii's Angel's Egg, and Kenji's wildcat, which inspired Miyazaki's Panda/Totoro creature, create a familiar yet refreshing experience. Kenji's magical language and narrative style, combined with spacey music and breathtaking art, result in a pleasantly unassuming gem of a film.
