I remember watching this movie during my Animal Crossing-mania phase, and I loved it right away! From the moment you see Ai in the taxi, it'll bring a smile to your face and remind you of the game. Regular players will recognize the characters made into the game, such as Margie (Sari), Rosie (Buke), Tom Nook (Tanuki), and Pelly (Periko) Even people who haven't had much exposure to Animal Crossing will love it. With it's numerous adventures and humor, the question is who WOULDN'T love it? Though I'm starting to lose hope, I still think this movie deserves an English release. If you can, watch the movie with the subtitles, and it will bring tears of joy to your eyes.
