Trailer for A Letter to Momo
Anime UK News has been following this project for a while and now a trailer has been released for Production I.G.’s A Letter to Momo.
Synopsis
Momo is a young girl who grew up in a big city. However, following the premature loss of her father, she has to move with her mother to the old family house on a remote island. Here, time seems to have stopped: old wooden buildings, holy shrines surrounded by trees, fields painstakingly carved out from steep hills… and no shopping mall.
Needless to say, Momo is not too overenthusiastic about this new environment. Most of all, her heart is still feeling uneasy about an unfinished letter left by her father. A letter that contained only two words: “Dear Momo…”
What was dad going to say?
One day, exploring the attic of her new big house, Momo finds a dusty and worn out book. And from that moment, something really unexpected starts happening around her…
The film has major talent in the production crew. It is directed by Hiroyuki Okiura who debuted with Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade, the animation has been supervised by Masashi Ando (Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away), the background is handled by Hiroshi Ono (Kiki’s Delivery Service) and the project also has animators from a myriad of other high-profile films such as Evangelion 2.22 The Sky Crawlers, Tokyo Godfathers and Summer Wars.
The theme song is being composed by Yuko Hara, member of Southern All Stars. The film is set to go into exhibition in 2012.
