The anime feature film Poupelle of Chimney Town is based on the children’s property by Akihiro Nishino and saw a December 25th, 2020 debut in theaters in Japan. With that having come and gone, the North American side was handled by Eleven Arts and we’ve had a home video release and a theatrical run.

Plot Concept: Poupelle of Chimney Town is the story of young Lubicchi living among the thick smoke from the chimneys of his isolated town, yearning to see the “stars” —to know the truth —his father always told him about. One Halloween night he meets Poupelle, a man made of garbage, and together they look to the sky as their adventure begins. Spectacularly beautiful, filled with inspiring performances and splendid music and sound effects, and produced at Tokyo’s famed Studio 4ºC, Poupelle of Chimney Town brings laughter, tears and joy.
