The 2023 film year has a highly anticipated release in store for animated film aficionados on December 6, 2023. It's the Japanese animated film The Department Store, directed by Yoshimi Itazu.
The film immerses us in an unusual department store, where a plethora of animal species cohabit as customers. The protagonist of this animated tale is young Akino, an apprentice concierge whose mission is to satisfy the strangest and most demanding needs of her clientele.
The film is not just entertainment, but also a demonstration of Yoshimi Itazu's creative genius. The director's unique approach to visualizing the interaction between man and animal comes to life through the protagonist Akino and her relationship with the department store's customers.
It also explores themes such as hard work, dedication and mutual respect. It's worth noting that this department store isn't just a setting for the story - it's a poignant metaphor for our vast world, full of diversity and unique individualities, but all linked by common needs.
On December 6, 2023, Le Grand Magasin makes its debut in theaters, promising to captivate young and old alike with its magnificent visuals, fascinating story and talented dubbing team. Get ready to plunge into an extraordinary world where animal and human life intersect and intertwine.
Akino is the apprentice concierge at a very special department store: the customers are all animals. Big or small, furry or feathered, Akino works hard to satisfy all their requests... even the most surprising.
