Her orphan friend Shun lives in a mansion with dozens of other kids on the school grounds, and when their home is threatened by demolition, Umi and the others do their best to stop their dwelling from being destroyed.

ReviewsChicago Tribune - Your kids may will fall in love with it, if you help them find it., Los Angeles Times - FROM UP ON POPPY HILL is frankly stunning, as beautiful a hand-drawn animated feature as you are likely to see. It's a time-machine dream of a not-so-distant past, a sweet and honestly sentimental story that also represents a collaboration between the greatest of Japanese animators and his up-and-coming son.
