A tiny mountain village in a remote woodland region. Five primary school kids have come together in this idyllic spot in order to spend their summer holidays at a camp. At first the children enjoy carefree days amidst unspoiled nature far away from adult supervision. But their life changes dramatically when they come across what they believe to be a small dog, badly in need of help. The creature - known as Pochi - turns out not to be a dog at all but an alien on an important mission. It seems there is a mysterious substance on earth that is coveted throughout the universe. Pochi had almost found it but was so badly injured during a fight that he had to give up his search. Thanks to the children's help, the alien survives - and decides to reward them generously. "Where would you most like to travel?" is the question Pochi puts to his rescuers. Their answer is prompt, if vague: "As far as possible!" Pochi suggests they try the moon first of all, and so, the alien whisks away the kids to the satellite next door. This marks the beginning of an absolutely amazing adventure. During the course of their travels they discover that the substance coveted throughout the universe is in fact also integral to Japanese cuisine - and it just so happens that one of the kids has some of this mysterious substance in his pocket.

| User ReviewJoey FBrilliant Reminded me of Spirited Away but in space |
| User ReviewTamar MIf you're an animation fan, you have got to see this |
| User ReviewWalter MAs usual, the japanese idea of "children entertaniment" shows that lil' japanese are clearly more clever than the vast majority of adults around the rest of the world. Sure, the story of Welcome to the Space Show is not so polished, sure it has a fair share of slow moments, but its visuals are, as always, top notch, and acid as the more bizarre twists of the plot, and under the fable gloss there are very dark themes pulsating, like a critique to the eugenetic use of DNA manipulation to preserve /not only) endangered species, the desensitized relationship with nature and animals, the dangerous aspect of the "nice-y-fication" of a culture. And after all the chibi shenanigans (or their contrary) characters don't lose their humanity. Well spaced. |
| User ReviewPhilip PLooks amazing and my only wish was that I would have popped some acid before watching it. Beautiful movie. |
| User ReviewYvan CCute characters and great space adventure to begin with. The animation gets even better and totally out-of-this-world, when they visualize a very colourful and creative space world. The concepts they used combines with a lot of science fiction movies, with a touch of kawai-ness. |
