Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
A natural pick for anyone curious about anime and anyone who knows cartoons aren't just for kids. Works for the whole couch, from little ones up.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Bright and bouncy, at 4 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1975: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

An animation mixing hand-drawn and cut-out techniques depicting the daily rituals of weekday morning that is occasionally interrupted by flights of fantasy delivered in stroboscopic flashes. Showing scenes of brushing teeth and face washing, Tanaami describes the film to be like a self-portrait on his favorite day of the week.
