This movie is simply amazing! I can't even begin to describe the many emotions you feel while watching it.
Every time I watch this I never feel like I am watching an animated movie. This film is so powerful and gripping! The movie is about a young lamb who's mother is killed by a wolf. Chirin is devastated and goes out seeking the wolf; hell bent on getting revenge.
This film is dark and may not be for everyone. I must say that this is one of my favorite films and it is very touching while being sad at the same time.
Supposedly this film was made based to be a cautionary tale about Japanese children being sent off to war and never coming back. Thus the mother sheep telling Chirin never to leave beyond the farm gate. Leaving the farm only meant death.
