This nostalgic and beautiful world continues to captivate audiences to this day. This exhibition once again showcases the warmth unique to “hand-drawn animation”—born from the meticulous production process and the overwhelming visual beauty of the original artwork—as well as the layouts depicting beautiful landscapes and the direction of each shot during production.
