    Ghibli Museum Exclusive

    It was a super enjoyable short film. We were ushered into a cute small theater at the museum ground floor. We sat first row and got a great view. The short film followed a boy and a rabbit playing games to win a stick. Then the granny shows up and there was a delightful scene where they enjoy sweets. I read online that the animators focused great detail to the running and walking animation techniques and it was impressive. It consisted of little to no dialogue and very easy to follow. Seeing this exclusive short film made for a great museum experience. The gift store in the museum sells the soundtrack CD and a book to go along with it, it's origin. The short film was based on the book.
