Synopsis

What a sensation Tottoi felt when he discovered the small creature in the mysterious cave!
The beauty and pride of wild animals capture the hearts of innocent people who have not lost their passion for nature.

Sardinia is abundant in beautiful beaches and mysterious caves which are known as the habitat of a peculiar kind of seal on the verge of extinction.

After moving to this island, Tottoi, fascinated by nature, visits different beaches and caves everyday. When he finds a seal cub and its mother in an isolated cave, he is surprised by the humorous movements and innocence of the cub and the dignity of its mother. Tottoi soon becomes attached to the seals, but his secret is revealed to heartless adults. In the name of preservation, a plan is developed to capture them for an aquarium.

Now the dignity and pride of the wild seal are in danger. No matter how painful for Tottoi to be separated from his small friends, he must fight for the welfare of the wild mammals and let them go free into the sea.

Nothing-Nowhere

Mixed Feelings

Saw this movie didn't have a review so here we go. Overall this is an ok movie. There are some cute moments with the seals, but the story is bland and predictable. The upbeat 90s style soundtrack is alright. It was hard to find a good version of this movie so I wasnt able to see the art and animation at its fullest. But it looked decent enough to me. The characters we're ok, nothing really to complain about but there was nothing that interesting about them either.

Again overall this was an ok movie, I suggest watching the japanese sub version if you can find ...
