About This Movie

48x61 is this intriguing piece that blends animation and comedy in a way that's kind of unique. Directed by Rintaro and produced by Studio Madhouse, you really feel the playful yet reflective tone throughout. The film’s atmosphere is a whimsical one—there’s a light-heartedness that doesn't shy away from the complexities of adult themes. The pacing is brisk, but it gives enough time to appreciate the artistic touches, particularly those practical effects that Madhouse is known for. It's fascinating how both directors' ages influenced this work—it’s almost like a conversation between generations. The animation style has that classic feel, but there's a freshness to it that makes it stand out among other shorts of its time.

Good for fans of Rintaro's work.Interesting collaboration with Otomo.Not your typical short film; has depth.
