Reviews
Chicago Tribune - Your kids may will fall in love with it, if you help them find it., Los Angeles Times - FROM UP ON POPPY HILL is frankly stunning, as beautiful a hand-drawn animated feature as you are likely to see. It's a time-machine dream of a not-so-distant past, a sweet and honestly sentimental story that also represents a collaboration between the greatest of Japanese animators and his up-and-coming son.
