Animal Crossing: The Movie released on Japanese DVD

doubutsugekijyou.jpgThis morning during breakfast I saw a commercial for a cheery looking children’s movie about talking animals and then noticed the camera pan up to reveal the now-famous Animal Crossing character K.K. Slider (Totakeke in Japan). The commercial was for an Animal Crossing animated movie that was released this week on DVD and is apparently about a girl named Ai who moves into a town inhabited by Animals only to fulfill a mysterious prophecy (found in a bottle message) by planting a tree during a winter festival. The DVD will set you back Â¥3,990 but comes with a limited edition pouch (which isn’t shown on the website, grrr). Check out the official site to learn more about the films staff and characters, as well a myriad of merchandising that the movie inspired.

    Since I am a Animal Crossing fanatic, I was already aware of this movie being featured in theaters, (Just to clear up that It’s not some crap straight-to-DVD thing.)

    Now, if only Nintendo could translate it…

    But, if they’re translating anything, it should be Mother 3. At least, that’s what I wish.

    The movie is called “Gekijyouban: Doubutsu no Mori.”

    Was it any good? I saw a lot of announcements when it was coming out in the theaters about a year ago, but then nothing… I’m wondering if nobody liked it and it bombed badly!
