Title

ZANNENNAIKIMONO JITEN

Summary

A short animation based on a much-discussed children’s book that introduced the somewhat funny and adorable (zannen) ecology of creatures cultivated during the evolutionary process, such as “raccoons never reveal their food” and “a couple of mandarin ducks have a different partner every year”. The creators, full of originality, depict the ecology of these creatures with songs that will make children sing along and humorous conversational dramas that will make even adults laugh.
