Very Cool Preview for New Japanese Movie "Hinokio"

Edited on Mon Mar-21-05 06:01 PM by UdoKier

The "Hinokio" is probably derived from "Pinocchio".

http://www.apple.com/jp/quicktime/trailers/shochiku/hinokio_large.html

The trailer is in Japanese, so I'll give a brief synopsis - It's about a handicapped/shut-in boy who attends school, given virtual mobility by a robot he's connected to in real time.

Japanese cinema seems to finally be catching up with Japanese animation in terms of creativity and technical skill.

2. I saw that. It was very cool.

Too bad they couldn't come up with a title that wasn't so "Katakana-English". It might have done better....
