Eiga Entotsumachi no Puperu plot

In Chimney Town, the sky is always dark gray; countless chimneys constantly belched out smoke. The inhabitants no longer believe that anything else could exist than that ashen cloud cover. Only the tailor Bruno used to tell stories about a sky full of stars – until he suddenly disappeared. Bruno's son Lubicchi works as a chimney sweep. The boy is lonely until he meets Poupelle, a good-natured monster made up of garbage.

Visually overwhelming.

But you can also expect that from Studio 4°C, they are known for pushing boundaries again and again. Both technically and aesthetically. Poupelle may be a film aimed at a somewhat younger audience, but that doesn't mean it looks simpler or cheaper.

The story feels like a mix of fairy tales, but with its own twist. That means that it is not very challenging and the moral is often thick, but the interpretation is quite original and the universe in which the film takes place is also full of nice details.

It is a mystery to me why this one stays somewhat under the radar, since the film has enough to offer. Not the very best the studio has to offer, but so much better than many other "children's films".

4.0* and a extensive review

Touching, sweet and emotional. Not everything is very original, but all kinds of great interesting things are combined with each other. The animation is nothing short of phenomenal. Just like Shinkai films, great attention to detail and color, but studio 4C remains the very best in dynamic animation. The opening scene is the best example of this.

A beautiful fairy tale, although I would have liked to see a little more development in the first 45 minutes. The climax is very nice, with more than enough developments in terms of story. The climax also reminded me of Tekkonkinkreet in several ways and that is of course a great compliment (and not too illogical given that it is from the same animation studio).
