Andres Gomez (Rated: 6.5)
Nice animation movie about the friendship of a kid and a mithological being from Japanese culture. Deep, with some insight about the meaning of life and loneliness. Still, it keeps just being a remasterization of another movies like E.T. or "Mac and Me" with quite a lot of stereotypes.
