The second round of special giveaways for Tabekko Animals: The Movie—now playing in theaters—has been announced. The 3DCG animated film features voice actors Genta Matsuda (Travis Japan), Koji Mizukami, and Akari Takaishi.
Adapted from the beloved animal-shaped biscuits by Ginbis, which have been a favorite since 1978, the movie has proven to be a surprising hit. In just five days from May 1 to 6, it drew 241,964 viewers and grossed over 313 million yen at the box office.
Despite its seemingly childlike appearance, audience reactions have been overwhelmingly emotional and positive. Comments include:
“I totally underestimated it—this made me cry.”
“I thought it was just for kids, but it was way better than expected.”
“This is on par with Pixar or DreamWorks—it opened a new door for me.”
“Everything you need from a great movie is here. I was genuinely moved.”
The film’s story has also been praised for its emotional depth and clever writing. Many have noted, “It’s full of twists and well-placed foreshadowing,” and, “The strong theme and unique storytelling make it enjoyable even for adults.” It’s becoming a must-see film that crosses generational boundaries.
