Combining pop-psychedelic animation with repurposed footage from a Soviet children’s fantasy film, this strange and hilarious hybrid production is a genuine lost gem of Canadian filmmaking.
Nick Johnson
Lost in the sun-scorched desert, teenager Frankie encounters its unusual inhabitants as he seeks his missing father. An unconventional animated fantasy for young folks, full of wonder and dread.
Kenji Nakamura
The cult-classic anime series returns as a visually exquisite feature film, delivering hallucinatory supernatural thrills in Edo-era Japan with Pop Art panache, playful anachronism, and percussive pacing.
Yôko Kuno, Nobuhiro Yamashita
Karin’s been left in the care of Anzu, a good-natured lout who happens to be an immortal ghost cat. A sympathetic slacker variation on an anime staple, the supernatural summertime coming-of-age.
