My Neighbors the Yamadas

The little victories of the quirky Takashi Yamada and his wacky wife Matsuko are followed in this touching animation from Studio Ghibli. The Yamadas navigate their way through the ups and downs of work, marriage and family life, with a sharp-tongued grandmother who lives with them, a teenage son who wishes he had cooler parents, and a pesty daughter whose loud voice is unusual for someone so small. Even the family dog has issues! Featuring the voice talents of comedic stars Jim Belushi and Molly Shannon. Humourous and heartbreaking, My Neighbours the Yamadas shows us how one family copes with life’s little conflicts, problems and joys in their own way. (StudioCanal UK)
