A fractured, knotted story about adjusting to new surroundings and having courage in the face of peril.

Think you're too hip for Japanese anime about a lost ten-year-old girl whose parents turn into snorting pigs? Get over it.

Top Critic Despite a dip midway through, this is a captivating fantasy that sets a new benchmark for animation.
