About The Wonderful Adventures of Nils
Nils Holgersson is a young boy on a farm who is cruel to the animals. But when he catches the farm's little goblin it becomes one prank too many. He is magically shrunk and suddenly the farm animals are out for revenge. He flees on the back of the goose Morten and they join up with a flock of wild geese. Together they travel all over Sweden, with Nils hoping to find a way to become big again.
Directed by Mamoru Oshii, Hisayuki Toriumi, Masami Anno, Yuji Nunokawa, The Wonderful Adventures of Nils leans on a strong ensemble — Mami Koyama, Shinobu Adachi, Shigeru Chiba — 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 1982.
