Animal Crossing: The Movie | comment |
Also known by its Japanese title, Gekijōban Dōbutsu no Mori (as well as Animal Forest or simply Animal Crossing), Animal Crossing: The Movie is an anime movie loosely based on the Animal Crossing video game franchise (more specifically, Animal Crossing: Wild World). Since plot isn't exactly the original games' strong point, the movie takes an appropriately Slice of Life approach to the source material. While the original was never released outside of Japan, there are multiple fan translations, both subtitled and dubbed. In 2020, the film was rebroadcast in Japan to commemorate the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.The movie begins in spring and follows Ai, a young girl moving to the town of Animal Village. As she settles into town, she gets to know the locals. She quickly befriends several of them: Rosie the cat (Bouquet in Japanese), Alfonso the alligator (Albert), Margie the elephant (Sally), and Yu, a human from a different town who visits often. Margie especially becomes Ai's closest friend, after they bond over cherries. Margie even shares with Ai her dream of becoming a famous fashion designer. In the coming months, they go to festivals, annoy (and get annoyed by) Yu and Alfonso, and get wrapped up in an unusual mystery involving bottled letters, and special spots in town...There's more to it than that, but everything that happens in autumn and beyond is somewhat... less cute and happy. Will Ai and her friends solve the mystery of the bottled letters? But more importantly, will Ai be able to stay happy living in Animal Village?For convenience's sake, this page will use the English names of characters from the games. | |

The Cameo: During the summer festival, several characters from the games make non-speaking cameos. Katie, Kaitlyn, Lyle, and Dr. Shrunk are in attendance at K.K. Slider's concert, Timmy and Tommy are running booths, Katrina's tent can be seen, and Saharah is admiring Redd's wares. | |

Insufferable Genius | |
Animal Crossing: The Movie / int_3126c34a | comment |
Insufferable Genius: Blathers goes on lengthy speeches about the exhibits on display at the museum, which the other characters tune out for their own sanity. His facts are mostly accurate, but he goofs by calling the Seismosaurus the largest animal ever; the Seismosaurus was also later found to actually be a Diplodocus, which is sixth on the length scale of dinosaurs and tenth in weight scale. (One of the fan translations acknowledges this by having Blathers correctly identify it as a Diplodocus, though it otherwise leaves the dialogue untouched.) | |

The camera then pans down to reveal a patch of lilies of the valley (or Jacob's ladders, as they're mistakenly known in Wild World), meaning that Animal Village has reached "perfect town" status. | |

Women Are Wiser: A more downplayed example. Ai and Margie are more mature and level-headed than Yu and Alfonso, but everyone in town is an oddball in their own way. Rosie also seems to look down on Yu and Alfonso, despite not being much more mature than them. Meanwhile, Ai gradually learns to appreciate Yu's optimism and spirit. | |

Pragmatic Adaptation | |
Animal Crossing: The Movie / int_603f1a80 | comment |
Pragmatic Adaptation: Some of the more "video gamey" elements of the series are changed to make more sense as a film. In the games, Mr. Resetti lectures you when you turn the console off without saving; here, he acts as a general rule enforcer, getting upset when people trespass or mess with private property. Ai doesn't carry around large items in her inventory; she uses a bike to make deliveries. In fact, the iconic "furniture turns into leaves" aspect is completely absent. The dinosaur fossils are also life-sized compared to the shrunken-down models from the games. | |

Adaptation Personality Change: Whitney is a snooty villager in the games. Snooty villagers often act like jerks and are self centered. Whitney in the movie is significantly nicer than in the games, though she seems cold and aloof. Like Whitney, Apollo is also more aloof and quiet in the film. In the games, he's a cranky villager (essentially the male version of snooty). Cesar and Cyrano, two other cranky villagers who appear in the film, are much closer to their game counterparts. Margie is a normal villager in the games. Despite their name, they're anything but in Wild World, which the movie is based on. They're odd and neurotic animals who are friends with a mop. Margie in the movie is calm and into fashion. | |

Misunderstood Loner with a Heart of Gold: The film portrays Apollo as one. While the other villagers assume that he's callous because he always keeps to himself, he's actually kind, if a bit mellow. Ai fears the worst when she admits to destroying his flowerbed, but his only reaction is to quietly leave; he later accepts her apology in a matter-of-fact manner, laughing it off. The credits montage shows them planting new flowers together. | |

Demoted to Extra: Rather important characters in the games — like Tom Nook, Pelly, and Blathers — don't have much of a presence here, as the film focuses more on the ordinary villagers. K.K. Slider, who's by far one of the game's most prominent characters, only shows up during the festival scene (he pops up again during the credits, but only in a montage). | |

Moving Angst | |
Animal Crossing: The Movie / int_d75b5f08 | comment |
Moving Angst: Inverted and played straight. Ai finds out too late that Margie has moved away, and she's heartbroken that she Never Got to Say Goodbye, which all culminates in her breaking down sobbing at the Roost. Later, Margie sends a letter saying that she was just as upset about having to leave, and the reason she never told Ai is that she knew it would make them both upset. | |

Minor Living Alone | |
Animal Crossing: The Movie / int_dadf222 | comment |
Minor Living Alone: Ai moves to Animal Village alone and lives in her own house, away from her parents. It's unclear how old she's supposed to be, as in the games, but the film particularly emphasizes her youth and naivete. The same applies to her neighbors, all of whom are of Vague Age (other than the cranky and snooty villagers being implicitly older than the rest). | |

Animal Crossing: The Movie / int_dcb9c541 | comment |
Ship Tease: Ai and Yu start to grow closer towards the end of the film. During the credits montage, we see Apollo and Ai replanting the former's blue roses. Later, Whitney finds a bouquet of blue roses at her door. | |

Funny Animal: The point of the series is that you're a Token Human living amongst anthropomorphic animals. The same applies here. | |

Ill-Fated Flowerbed: Apollo has a patch of blue roses in his front yard. Much like in the game, they're a rare and fragile breed, and Ai tramples over them when Yu causes her to trip and drop a heavy package she was carrying. | |

Running Gag: Throughout the movie, there are cuts to Hopper fishing at the riverside, never catching any fish (until the credits — the one he finally catches is a few inches long). | |
