Eiga Sumikko Gurashi: Tobidasu Ehon to Himitsu no Ko

Corners are cozy, but they don’t usually make for a quest—this one leans into the quiet charm of hiding in plain sight. When a pop-up book whisks the Sumikko crew into a world where forgotten things gather, they meet a child who shouldn’t exist. The film’s gentle humor and soft edges make it feel like a commercial break that never ends—sweet, low-stakes, and oddly soothing.
