Before watching: Expecting cute creatures doing cute things (^^)
Half way in: awww, so cute (*´∇`*)
Towards the end: *unexpected reveal* ゚ロ゚
End: burst into tears (´;ω;`)

I could really relate to Pengin and Hiyoko-chan.
Heartwarming movie. Kids' movie yes, but adults may very well enjoy watching as well.
I definitely recommend watching!

I love the Sumikko Gurashi characters, so I was really happy to hear that it was getting a film!

I thought it was just a film for 5-6 year old kids, but it is very good and made me cry.

Yo that was actually...really good??? Tbh I had no expectations for it, but it was honestly genuinely funny!! But shit that ending was so sad though ;_; glad that they drew more friends for the chick in the book, but it was still really bittersweet. Deffo a 9/10 from me!

this is genuinely a great movie - as a diehard sumikko gurashi lover i was not let down.
i was a little sceptical of them going into the stories at first, but my goodness by the end i was super taken by it. the ending had me crying so much, it completely broke my heart!! that was definitely unexpected since i went into this expecting to have a heartwarming, cute and happy storyline but came out uncontrollably crying (kind of embarrassing) but i'm glad i'm not the only one who was so touched by this movie!! the word 'bittersweet' to describe the story is most definitely fitting.
runar and penguin?'s friendship especially was so wholesome, as well as the sumikko family dynamic in general - they all really do love each other. all the characters are drawn super adorably of course, and the addition of some other cute characters like the bean master, ogre and more :3 made me super happy. what confused me a little though was the translations of the characters' names - they are different according to different subs. which was interesting lol.
10/10 would definitely recommend!! make sure you have tissues on hand though. :'')

p.s. should i add the characters to the mal movie page?
