PENGUIN'S MEMORY: A Tale Of Happiness (RARE ANIME FILM, circa 1985)
2024-08-06に共有
For those who don't know what it is, this is a movie that's about a penguin returning from the Delta War, but proceeds to travel to become a librarian, but has bumped into a female penguin who dreams to be a singer, and also bumps into couple of struggles in his journey, but with help from his frenemies.
This film is underrated, since it only came out on VHS and Laserdisc by CBS/Sony Home Video (now Sony Music Entertainment Japan), and never had an English dub, nor a DVD/Blu-Ray release since it's out of print (considering that the film is based off the Suntory Beer commercials, which kinda explains about where the 2 penguins came from), but fan-translated subs exist. But hopefully, it might get a Blu-Ray release one day.
Another thing is, don't think it's a happy go-lucky film, like some other animes and films, since this film has a take on very sensitive topics that can NOT be explained, so don't watch it, if you're one of those people.
Oh, and also, don't get the penguin designs confused for the Club Penguin characters, since this film came out in 1985 (years before Disney made the Club Penguin series), not to mention that some people refers to this film as the "Club Penguin Anime Movie" as a joke, because of the design on the characters.
This is from a RAW rip taken from the Laserdisc, but the warning screens in Japanese and English are restored.
(Not gonna lie, I love this movie, since it's underrated and it got me introduced to songs sung by Seiko Matsuda, not to mention that this film has some Dragon Ball voice actors.)
