Welcome aboard the fantasy train in the stars! "The Celestial Railroad" is a fantastic journey of a boy, Giovanni, in a dreamscape created into a colourful full-dome CG animation picture with inspiring background music. Based on a story written in the early 20th century, Kagaya, a digital fine artist, has breathed new life into the unique imaginary world using creativity and precise astronomical knowledge. The starry sky is depicted as the Celestial Field made up of a river, a field of silver grasses, flowers, birds, survey towers, railway signals and more. Across this amazing beautiful scenery, the Celestial Railroad runs along the Milky Way. It is a fantasy world in full colour, but designed with scientific accuracy. This unforgettable travel will be a delight to the eyes and ears of all the audience. Children will enjoy the fantasy with a scientific touch while adults will be entertained by the elegant artistry and its profound implications. * Based on the famous Ginga Tetsudou no Yoru story by Miyazawa Kenji.
