An irresistibly out-there mystery that plays like a cross between "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and "Stranger Things," if either of those influences' sense of horror were replaced with wonder... Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- The joy of discovery is at the heart of "Penguin Highway," a delightful new anime that is about the mysteries of life, both scientific and personal. Oh, and it's about penguins, too. Full Review

A coming-of-age story outfitted with an engaging anthropomorphic overlay that can make you forget you're watching an intimately filmed documentary instead of an animated adventure. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- For viewers of Aoyama's age this could be a film that lingers in the mind for years to come, like the half-memory of a strange but pleasant dream. Full Review

Product Description:

This Japanese animated adventure directed by Hiroyasu Ishida follows science enthusiast Aoyama-kun (Kana Kita), a fourth-grader who begins to investigate something strange in his village. He has noticed that penguins have appeared, and somehow their appearance is linked to a lady from his local dentist's office, a link he must explore further to truly understand.
