Annecy 2024 - Paul Grimaud Prize
In Tokyo, just before World War II, there is a school that combines learning with fun, freedom, and love. This unusual school has old railroad cars for classrooms and is run by an extraordinary man—its founder and headmaster, Sosaku Kobayashi—who is a firm believer in freedom of expression and activity. Totto-chan, a lively little girl who doesn’t fit in at her original elementary school, arrives at this unique place. Thanks to headmaster Kobayashi, Totto-chan meets unique students and learns new things, even as Japan descends into war.
Totto-Chan: The Little Girl at the Window, winner of the Paul Grimault Award at Annecy, is a beautiful and profoundly humanistic anime based on a true story.
Filmography: Doraemon the Movie (2016).
