Short film shown only in the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka. The nine-minute short adapts a picture book by Rieko Nakagawa and Yuriko Yamawaki, the author and illustrator of two previous books that inspired Ghibli shorts (Sora Iro no Tane, The Whale Hunt). In the story, a boy named Yuuji and a rabbit named Gikku find a stick at the same time, and decide to compete in games to decide who can keep the stick. However, whether it is a foot race, long jump, or sumo wrestling, they always end up in a tie. (Source: ANN)

When I was in Japan a couple years ago, this film was shown at the Ghibli Museum in the mini theatre. Its just about a bunny names Gikku and kid name Yuuji playing around. Its light hearted fun and its animated beautifully as expected from the studio. The art style gives of a sort of storybook style that really fits the theme of the short, cause it does feel like a children’s storybook. There’s no real focused plot, its just a fun ride in a sense of what these kids can do as they around with each other as they fight over a stick. Itscute to watch and in the 9 minute run time it doesn’t get boring, its just nice.
