Nobody talks about this one. Two small angels drift through a world that feels like it exists only in watercolor, searching for something as simple and impossible as happiness, and the movie never rushes them. The pacing is deliberately slow, deliberately gentle, it costs you nothing to sit with them. This is a Sanrio film from 1989 that remembers what comfort actually feels like: not excitement, not revelation, just the feeling of being held while you think about what matters. It's small enough to disappear from memory the moment you stop watching. That's exactly the point.

Kiki and Lala set out on an adventure in search of happiness in this 1989 fantasy film. The movie was released in theaters as one entry in the Sanrio Anime Festival series. The pair's quest for happiness is at the center of the story, which is told as a single standalone film.
