If you loved Horus: Prince of the Sun, try Panda! Go Panda!
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Isao Takahata, and they sit in Animation territory. If that's the register that drew you to Horus: Prince of the Sun, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Panda! Go Panda! is
The 1972 anime quietly introduces Mimiko’s cozy routine until two pandas—one toddler, one dad—crash in. Town life devolves into slapstick after the bear duo escapes the zoo. A deceptively minor charm fest for those who prefer their chaos undemanding.
