Tonko House and Akihiro Nishino (Poupelle of Chimney Town) will break your heart with the animated gem BOTTLE GEORGE.
The film is the story of a thing in a bottle that lives with a little boy and a fat cat. What happens is the movie.
Actually, what the film is is an allegorical telling of addiction and a family. It’s a beautifully animated tale that will make you laugh, crush your soul and make you cry bittersweet tears.
I was watching the film during a lunch break and an I had to explain to several people why I was a sobbing mess.
Who said that stop motion animation can’t make you cry?
This film is a masterpiece and highly recommended. See it in Shorts Collection One at both Japan Cuts and NYAFF.
