This Friday, July 26th, a much-anticipated new animated film was released in Japan as scheduled after 17 years! Many old fans said it was so good that they cried QAQ...

"Monster Cat Kara Umbrella"


"Monster Cat"It is a horror anime produced by Toei Animation that premiered in 2007. Under the beautiful Ukiyo-e painting style, behind the seemingly harmless characters and scenes, there areAbortion, infanticide, bride kidnapping, imprisonment of young girlsThe dark history and various stories of wronged souls, every story of the evil of human nature is horrifying and shocking...

The incomparable weird and gorgeous painting style and the dark, jumping, stunning and bizarre plot make this animation a classic and pinnacle work of Ukiyo-e style animation, and almost no one has been able to surpass it in the past decade.


After 17 years, the official finally gave this work a new theatrical version this week! The film just released and won the "Canadian Fantastic Film Festival"of"Best Animated Feature Film"Big Prize!"

Let’s take a look at the theme song trailer PV first. After watching it, I can declare that this is the movie I’m most looking forward to and want to watch this year!

From the trailer, we can see that this theatrical version of the Great Inner Palace tells the story of the tragedy of personal desire in a twisted little garden, which is constantly suppressed by collectivism but still undercurrents.


ThroughoutIt tells the story of the resistance and awakening of women oppressed by power.



After watching the video, a lot of STAFF original artists and other artists’ wives also presented a wave of pictures to support the movie!
















Moreover, just today, the official announced that this sequel animation is a theatrical trilogy:

The second movie version of "Mononoke Fire Mouse" will be released in March 2025!


Based on past experience, the latest animated films released overseas in Japan are expected to be introduced and released in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan within one or two months.

So, is it possible for this weird cat movie to be introduced to the mainland? When can we see the feature film?


First of all, everyone who knows about this animation knows that the content of this animation is very adult, obscure and dark. Although it is extremely popular among comic fans, it is still a niche literary and artistic animation type when viewed by the general public.

In the previous TV animation,Abortion, infanticide, bride kidnapping, imprisonment of young girlsDark history and various stories of wronged souls, any of which would seem a bit too explosive to be shown on the big screen for the national audience...

The content of this new work is the story of the awakening of a miserable female individualism and her resistance to the power of collectivism. Well, in the current environment... this is very different, right? This kind of movie content and theme is naturally introduced.Some thresholds……


But looking at it from a positive perspective, this year it seems to be due to environmental reasons.It seems that in the introduction of overseas filmsGreen light!

In March this year, a realistic gangster film called "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" was introduced to mainland cinemas and became a huge hit. This theme was not something that we would have dared to imagine before, but it was introduced anyway.


In terms of animated films, the successive introduction of popular animations such as "Slam Dunk", "Spy Play" and "Haikyuu!!" is normal, but the confirmed introduction of niche animated films such as "Blue Forbidden Zone: Nagi" and "Go Go Sakura: Reincarnation of Evil Lady", plus the reintroduction of films from more than a decade ago such as "One Piece", "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" and the Hayao Miyazaki series, and the re-screening of "Your Name", etc., all show that the mainland seems to be very eager for animated films! In principle, it may beLet it go if you can!


In summary, I am optimistic about the introduction of the recently released "Monster Cat Tang Umbrella" movie! ! If everything goes well, I estimate that it will be released in half a year, around the end of this year! (Even if it can't be shown on the big screen by then, the BD should be out soon so we can watch it)

Anyway, let's look forward to it with a bumpy mood~
