  • Review by Paul Elliott ★★★

    Widely acknowledged as the significant primary work from Hayao Miyazaki, Panda Kopanda (Panda! Go Panda!) sees the co-founder of Studio Ghibli supplying the original concept, screenplay and layouts alongside director and fellow Ghibli co-founder Isao Takahata to deliver a delightful and rather satisfying family movie. Consequently, it provides some extraordinary insight for interested parties into the beginnings of the celebrated anime studio.

    The storyline itself has the underlying themes of what would develop into some of Miyazaki’s trademark touches such as family and a central protagonist looking for affection, and there's much here that reminded me of My Neighbour Totoro specifically. The animation is delightfully joyous, and it's box office success facilitated a sequel by the same producers, Panda Kopanda and the Rainy-Day Circus.

    Japanuary Challenge 2023 🇯🇵
    Directed by Isao Takahata

    For fans of animation, and particularly Japanese Animation, Panda! go Panda! was among the first of Isao Takahata's animated projects in collaboration with Hayao Miyazaki.
    Aimed at younger audiences, the project has a lot of what would eventually become the Ghibli brand, mainly the charm and imagination of a world through a child's eyes. The emotional sensibilities aren't completely developed here; even though our central character, Mimiko, is an orphan, the film is light and fluffy with a low stakes adventure of silly proportions. It's cute as hell.

  • Review by Mantasumi 🎞 ★★½ 3

    Im ersten Teil von "Die Abenteuer des kleinen Panda" wird das Fundament der Erzählung gelegt: Mimikos Oma verreist und die Kleine lernt die beiden Pandas kennen, beziehungsweise bildet mit ihnen eine neue Familie.

    Ich habe eine ganze Weile gebraucht, mit der Situation und den Figuren in diesem kindgerechten Anime klarzukommen. Denn irgendwie finde ich es per se sehr seltsam, dass man das kleine Mädchen einfach ihrem Schicksal überlässt (auch wenn sie es so will).
    Irgendwann konnte ich mich aber auch ganz auf die putzige Geschichte einlassen und hatte meinen Spaß damit.

    Anmerkung: Wieso ist mir erst durch die ganzen Reviews im Nachhinein aufgefallen, dass es quasi eine Art Vorreiter für "Mein Nachbar Totoro (1988)" ist? Die Ähnlichkeit ist ja eigentlich kaum zu übersehen!

    The Anime Marches On! 2020 Challenge (13/32)
    One Non-Hayao Miyazaki Studio Ghibli film
    --
    A little girl's sole guardian--her grandma--goes off on a little trip and leaves the six-year-old home alone for a couple days...cuz that's something adults do. While she's alone she becomes subject to a bizarre home invasion where a father panda and his adorable baby drop by and become her new family. Is it weird that I'm more put off by the abnormality of the grandmother leaving this little kid to fend for herself than I am by the anthropomorphic bears that just show up at their place and start breaking shit?

    But nevermind. This proto-Studio Ghibli entry from director Isao Takahata is pure fluff with sound…

  • Review by Christopher Fujino ★★

    This was supposedly made because Miyazaki & Takahata couldn't secure the rights to Pippi Longstocking, and it's an obvious precursor to My Neighbor Totoro (right down to the title song). But the children's story I was reminded of while watching Panda! Go Panda! was The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, with it's serial/anthology of shorts format, and premise of idyllic childhood autonomy in a non-threatening world. But the strength of Winnie the Pooh is how funny the characterizations of the animals are (Eeyore is depressed, Rabbit is a neurotic compulsive, Owl a know-it-all who knows nothing, et al), and characterization is sorely lacking here, especially from the supporting characters.

    Postscript: the Japanese title is "Panda Ko-Panda", where "ko" means "child".…

  • Review by col_plimp ★★★★

    Rewatch bei den Nachbarn mit 3-Jährigem Jungen.
    Ich hatte zwar von allen Anwesenden deutlich am meisten Spaß, inkl. einiger leicht peinlicher lauten Auflacher (bei dem Blick leider nicht vermeidbar:), aber Langeweile oder Verständnisprobleme kamen generell nie auf. Dafür ist Toto... Papanda einfach zu quirky und herzlich.
    (Eigentliche) Zielgruppen-Test bestanden und so viel Ideen-foreshadowing auf spätere Ghibli-Werke: +1/2 Stern.
    Wer je sein Herz an Totoro verloren hat wird auch hier schwach werden und gut 70 Minuten einiges zu schmunzeln und giggeln haben.

  • Review by ONEFINGERDEATHPUNCH ★★★½

    Langer langer Vorspann, das wird manchem jüngeren Zuschauer möglicherweise erstmal etwas aus der Bahn werfen. Dafür gibt es einen Ohrwurm, der auch alle Japanisch-Unbefähigten zum Mitgröhlen einlädt. Zeichnerisch bekannte Heidi-Vibes, inhaltlich ohne roten Faden, sondern eher einem kunterbuntem. Ich würde fast schon sagen, dass das Gezeigte ziemlich weird ist, aber diese ganzen Verrücktheiten sind wunderbar unterhaltsam und liebenswert. Ein Format für Jung und Alt, gefühlt ein Vorläufer späterer Ghibli-Werke wie Totoro. Der Vollgas-Modus, der hier gefahren wird, hebt sich durch die angenehme Laufzeit wieder auf. Ein kleiner geheimer Schatz, welcher unbedingt entdeckt werden sollte!

    Suuuuuper cute 🤍 As a Ghibli fan, it was really cool to see this in theaters and it was so interesting seeing the similarities with Totoro and even Ponyo. I now will be singing ~panda papanda kopanda~for the rest of the night, thank you.
