Hi again! I know what you’re thinking, “My goodness, so soon?!” Well, I wanted to share a movie that 永次 and I watched the other day. (It’s a lot happier than the movie I watched today, that’s for sure!) ホッタラケの島 〜遥と魔法の鏡〜 is a 2009 release which won several film festival awards, and I can see why! With elaborate worlds, art, and characters, Haruka & The Magic Mirror really shines as a great new edition to the animated children’s adventure genre. (And just how cute is the little sheep called Cotton!)
I personally like to watch movies without knowing much about the actual plot, so I won’t divulge that here in detail, but if you’re the sort that likes to know what they’re getting into, check out the Wikipedia page for a brief summary.
If you enjoyed this article, please consider sharing it!

Learning Japanese At Home
Our goal for Kanji & Tea, aside from sharing our struggles and successes, is to help provide the everyday person with all the tools necessary to learn Japanese on their own through everyday immersion.
Wow that looks like fun. I wonder if it is appropriate for someone in pre-k? It looks like it would make a lovely “Let’s celebrate your first day of Japanese school” gift.
Hi Cosmo,
It reminds me of Finding Nemo except it’s not as frightening. There are a few potentially scary parts, so I’d recommend you watch it first but I think it’s right along the lines of things I used to watch Pre-K.
It’s a good story about treasuring the things you have and keeping close your childhood memories.
Fantastic! Thanks.
