MPAA Rating: N/A
Screenwriter: N/A
Genre: Fantasy, Family
Starring: Takuto Sueoka
Plot Summary: Legendary pop artist Takashi Murakami makes his directorial debut with genre-defying, coming-of-age fantasy. A tale of family, friendship and loyalty set in a world of fantasy that draws as much upon Japanese popular culture as it does from Hollywood movies and Japanese Manga.
Having moved to the country with his mother following the death of his father, young Masashi (Takuto Sueoka) immediately makes a most unlikely friend: a flying, jellyfish-like sprite that he nicknames Kurage-bo. Taking Kurage-bo under his wing and into the classroom, Masashi soon discovers that his schoolmates have similar friends - and that they, their creators, and the town itself are not all they seem to be.
