A movie that treats animals like characters in a dark comedy about the universe's cruel design choices. Nature gave some creatures the worst possible tools for survival, then made them try anyway. You watch a penguin that can't swim and a koala that's basically a furry disaster, and something about their uselessness becomes genuinely funny, then kind of sad, then weirdly moving.

A comedy movie adapted from a series of illustrated children's books about strange and unfortunate animals. The film spotlights oddball creatures from three corners of the world: Antarctica, Australia, and the Azumi Basin in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. With a light slice-of-life feel, it offers a funny look at the peculiar wildlife that calls each of these places home.
