My Neighbour’s the Yamadas
Japan, 1999, PG, 104 mins
Presented by the Japan Information and Cultural Centre this animated feature is based on a wildly popular Japanese comic strip, master animator Isao Takahata directs this loosely structured work about that wacky household, the Yamadas.
The family consists of laid-back, rice cracker-addicted mother Matsuko; bland businessman father Takashi, who has illusions of machismo; the fearless, acid-tongued grandmother Shige; the slacker teenaged son Noboru; the younger sister Nonoko, who has a freakishly voracious appetite; and Pochi, the misanthropic family dog.
During the film, the Yamadas wrestle for control of the TV remote and they deal with a band of bikers who have invaded the neighborhood, while Takashi has fantasies about being born into a more interesting family.
Free admission with ticket.
Tickets available from 5pm each day. No bookings.
