Fleeing a violent thunderstorm, a young goat named Mei becomes separated from his tribe and takes shelter in a cabin. He soon is not alone, as another creature limps inside. In the dark they cannot see each other, both have colds and cannot smell each other, but in conversation assume they are of the same kind for they have much in common even apart from a shared fear of thunder, having been taught by elders to run fast to survive and to value loyalty and friendship. They agree to meet the next day for a picnic, with the words "stormy night" used to identify each other. Getting past their initial shock at seeing each other in the daylight, their friendship grows even though they were born enemies, as a goat and a wolf. They continue to meet secretly with Gav fighting off his natural predator tendencies. One day Gav helps Mei escape a wolf hunt, and they are observed together. The other goats demand that Mei use his friend to get details of the wolves plans or be exiled. Gav is threatened with death unless he uses Mei to get details of the goat's habits. With all of the forest watching, they opt to jump into a raging river in an attempt to escape since neither will betray the other. Surviving the waters, they start a journey over a tall snow-capped peak to find a forest beyond where they can live in peace. The bitter cold of a blizzard overcomes Mei, and the pack still pursues them. Respectively facing death from starvation or the pack, Mei and Gav both attempt to sacrifice themselves for the other.

| User Reviewname gI love this movie. But it is a bit sad. It follow's the story about two freinds. One is a goat and the other is a wolf. They become freinds and soon they are forced to find a new home after when both of there pack's find out about there secret. I really liked the story and it talk's about the consequences of freindship and bonds. If you're looking for a good anime movie to watch, this is worth watching. 5/5 |
| User ReviewPro. D-Spoilers- Mei and Gabu live in a world where the goats run while the wolves chase, and that a goat is the wolves favorite food. A goat named Mei wanders into a barn one stormy night. Mei hears the sound of another 'goat' in the barn, (but unexpectedly a wolf.) His name is Gabu. Since they can't see or smell each other, they think of themselves as their own species. They plan to meet up the next day to have a picnic, and since they don't know what they look like, they make up a special code which was one stormy night. When Mei arrives the next day, he finds out Gabus a wolf, and Gabu finds out Meis a goat. This makes it hard for Gabu to eat Mei, and Mei being brave for some reason. Gabu considers Mei his best friend, even if Mei is prey or not. The two stay friends until Gabu's wolf pack finds out that he befriended a goat and same goes for Meis Clan finding out he befriended a wolf. Gabu's wolf pack takes Gabu's punishment more seriously than Mei's by making Gabu die. But, Gabu has one life left if he kills Mei. The two friends meet up the next day, and they come across a river to cross. Since their Clans and Packs want them to break apart, the two jump into the river instead to escape them not being friends. They go off a waterfall and Gabu seems to survive, along with Mei. Although the two are happy together, Gabu's wolf pack is coming to kill Mei Gabu. Mei predicts that behind a mountain that they came across would be a green forest for goats and wolves to live. Gabu agrees with the idea and they trek to the mountain. Unexpectedly it starts to snow once they reach the top of the mountain, which forms into a blizzard overnight. Gabu saves Mei from almost freezing to death. Mei tells Gabu to eat him and go across the mountain in good health. Gabu refuses, but he decides to never come across Mei again. Instead of eating Mei, Gabu comes across his wolf pack again. He fights them in the snow until Gabu and the wolves are confronted by an avalanche that piles the wolves, and Gabu steams to bump his head, forgetting all the stuff he did with Mei. The next morning Mei finds the green forest. He then finds Gabu shortly after. Although Gabu tells Mei he's going to kill and eat him. Mei tells Gabu to remember, but Gabu doesn't know, even he forgot his identity. Mei tells Gabu he wish he never met one stormy night, and all the memory rushes back to Gabus head, and they stay friends forever. |
| User Reviewmagii :this movie was super adorable x3! ...not one you wanna watch again & again, but i guess it would be a terrific movie for lil kids. |
| User ReviewKat BSaw it on youtube. It starts out slow at first but in the end even I felt my black old heart grow 3 sizes. :3 |
| User ReviewMelissa FWhy can't Disney Studio's think of this? This is cute, and i love the wolf! Almost reminds me of 'Bell of Chrin' xD |
| User ReviewElise CDifferent style of animation than I usually see with these films, but certainly gorgeous visually, which meets those high standards. The story reminds me of a fable and there certainly seems to be some Disney influences, maybe Looney Tunes too. There are some very cartoony moments. I don't see that very often in a generally serious anime. It touches on some deep themes, even for me as an adult, there's a certain scene that's difficult to even fathom. A touching tale of an unlikely, and unbreakable friendship. It had me in tears by the end. This is a gem of a film that deserves to be seen more. |
