Komadori Eiga Komaneko

Komachan lives in the attic of a house on top of a hill and loves making things. She spends her time taking frames of her favourite doll. She works hard and is kindhearted, and her story leaves viewers with a warm feeling inside. Though a stuffed animal, Komachan moves around freely and the expressions on her face and the manner in which she twitches her tail seem so natural that it's easy to forget that she isn't real. Komaneko was created by Gouda Tsuneo, who won the award for best short film at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in France for a work featuring DOMO, a character that appears on NHK television. Gouda writes the stories, designs the characters, and directs the movies he makes. The one-hour full-length film Komadori Eiga Komaneko (Komaneko: The Curious Cat) is made up of five episodes and features a number of new characters.
