Twitter Facebook Google+Overview
In a thick forest full of giant trees, a boy lives modestly with his family. One day, a guardian of the moon looking like a squirrel shows up in front of the boy, saying the moon got accidentally stuck on a high tree somewhere far East. Night dominates the world as the sky stops moving with the still moon. Now, the boy and the squirrel go off on adventures into the dark forest to search and free the moon.

Viewing Notes
if someone (Third Window, perhaps) put all these short films directed Takeshi Yashiro into one nice release with all the “making of” features on the JFF site, I’d buy it. These are truly wonderful films all just under 30 minutes with Pukkulapottas the shortest at 16min. That’d be 2.25 hours of great stop motion animation + the extras.
I love the squirrel with the gas mask being an agent of the moon.
