What Is The Acorns and the Wildcat About?
The premise of The Acorns and the Wildcat without spoilers.
The Acorns and the Wildcat is a picture‑book style film by the creator of Night on the Galactic Railroad and Gauche the Cellist. A narrator reads Kenji’s story as warm illustrations receive subtle animation. Minimalist animation by Yasuhiro Nagura (Angel’s Egg) and a wildcat that inspired Miyazaki’s Totoro creature give it a fresh, familiar feel. Spacey music and striking art make it a quietly brilliant gem.
