Anpanman does what it does best: no stakes, no cruelty, pure motion and color and someone always helping someone else because that's the shape the world takes in this story. The festival setting is an excuse to watch a bread hero and his friends move through cheerful chaos for ninety minutes, which costs nothing and delivers exactly what you came for. It's built for the viewer who doesn't need a plot to justify watching good people be good to each other.

Sore Ike! Anpanman: Rhythm de Utaou! Anpanman Natsumatsuri is a 2015 comedy and fantasy movie.
