Short description

Precocious tween Karin finds herself abandoned by her father in rural Japan. Living in a temple with her grandfather, she meets Anzu, a giant "ghost cat" and notorious layabout tasked with looking after her. Distrustful of her new guardian, Karin sabotages Anzu's odd jobs for the townsfolk and befriends the eccentric local forest spirits. In an effort to win Karin over, Anzu accidentally makes a deal with the devil, and all Hell breaks loose.

What's left behind the scenes

Rotoscoping technique was used in the making of the animated film. This is an animation technique where an animated or combined film segment is created by frame-by-frame redrawing of filmed footage with real actors and sets. Ralph Bakshi used this technique in his work on the animated films "The Lord of the Rings" (1978) and "Fire and Ice" (1983).
