Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With just 38% on Rotten Tomatoes, a box office flop and little lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

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

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for manga readers and people who still love a bit of magic. It's anime, with all the big emotions and big action that comes with it. Liked The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh? This is a good next one.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Paced for all ages, at 6 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).
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

The short follows the dream of a young boy in which strange whale teleports him to a fantasy land where a happy cat named Pero (modeled after the character in the Nagagutsu wo Haita Neko anime that serves as Toei Animation's mascot) appears. The piece is entirely dialogueless.
