This Japanese animated movie follows a 17-year-old schoolgirl and a talking chair as they try to stop natural disasters across the country.
Following his critically acclaimed animes Your Name and Weathering with You, Makoto Shinkai now brings us his latest movie, Suzume.
This animated film tells the story of 17-year-old schoolgirl Suzume (voiced by Nanoka Hara), who comes across a mysterious door that seemingly serves no purpose.
She soon realises that isn’t the case when a thick red supernatural ‘worm’ bursts out of the door and starts to take over the skies of Japan, setting off earthquake warnings.
Nobody can see the threat in the skies except Suzume and a young man named Sōta (Hokuto Matsumura), who has inherited the responsibility of travelling across Japan and closing these mysterious doors, cutting off the worms before they can cause complete destruction.
After their initial encounter, Sōta is cursed and turned into a three-legged children’s chair (yep!) so he needs help closing these doors and stopping the natural disasters.
Suzume...
