2012 Anime

An amusing 3-minute clay animation that Yuuichi Itou (Harbor Tale, Knyacki!) produced for "The Earth and Children of Tomorrow - Pray for Happiness" campaign by TVK (Television Kanagawa).

Doron Coron comes to life after a child angel tinkles off a cloud. This unusual heavenly elixir rains down onto a dark city street and brings to life the titular boy character made of dirt who rolls off to explore the city. He has a pleasant interaction with a worm, and a not so pleasant interaction with bird excrement, but is cheered by the growth of a plant on his head. The plant grows and grows and Doron Coron heads to the countryside where he enjoys pleasant interactions with the natural world.

The film covered a residential area with superb view of both ocean and mountain. From that day this town became dark as pitch. Hidden in this darkness were lights in the town, my way home, my mother, and my expected baby in my belly. This animation depicts the truth hiding behind the facts.
