Synopsis

One night a Goblin father came home gave his son a red handball.
But the boy was shocked to hear that his father picked it up in front of the house of a girl called Yuki
The boy decided to return it to her.
Next morning, he ran in the snow to a village and saw many boys and girls singing cheerfully.
When he came to a small house, he saw a girl sitting alone on the veranda.
She said, "I am Yuki. Who are you?"
He handed a ball to her without an answer.
She was very glad and said " I was looking for it. My sickly mother made this for me.
Thank you very much."
That gave him relief and they become friends.

This is a rather cute short movie for children.
The story is easy to follow and teaches some important values.

The little oni boys' father comes home from a trip to the human village and gifts him a red ball he found. After finding out, that he basically stole it from someones porch though, the little boy decides to return it to its original owner the next day.

The anime uses a lot of imagery from japanese folklore (oni, temari ball, yuki usagi), but can easily be understood without any background knowledge.
The art style is pretty adorable and the animation is fine.

Overall it is a cute, ...
