If you loved Swan Lake, try Twelve Months
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 Kimio Yabuki, and they sit in Adventure / Animation / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Swan Lake, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Twelve Months is
A royal bouquet request becomes a stepdaughter’s impossible errand, turned surreal by calendar spirits. She trades frostbite for winter defiance when spring blooms on command. The reward promptly causes more trouble than it’s worth.
