Kikansha Yaemon

About This Movie

Kikansha Yaemon is a 3D animated feature that first graced screens back in October 2009. The film embodies that unique blend of whimsy and nostalgia that Toei often captures, even in its CG works. The pacing is a bit uneven, with moments of delightful antics balanced by slower segments that allow the viewer to soak in the beautifully rendered visuals. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, do contribute to the film's charm, and the character designs are quite distinctive. It’s interesting how this film was bundled with others for its DVD release, kind of like a sampler for CG Toei's offerings at the time. There's a lightheartedness that runs through it, making it memorable in its own quiet way.

First aired on 03.October 2009.DVD release included other Toei CG titles.Offers a mix of whimsy and nostalgia.
