About It's the Sea! Let's Set Sail! Niko Niko, Pun
A feature-length animation of the popular work "Niko Niko, Pun", which began broadcasting in the 1980s as a corner of NHK's educational program "Okaasan to Issho". The original "Niko Niko, Pun" was a live-action puppet show in costume, but in this anime version, the three main characters are voiced by the same voice actors, including Kaneta Kimotsuki. One day, Porori hears from her mother that she has a new baby brother. With the help of Jajamaru and Pikkoro, they set off on a boat to find their brother, but for some reason, the three of them end up on an island inhabited by pirates.
Directed by Toshio Hirata, It's the Sea! Let's Set Sail! Niko Niko, Pun leans on a strong ensemble — Kaneta Kimotsuki, Keiko Yokozawa, Ryusei Nakao — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 1990.
