Nintama Rantaro the Movie

Aired: 1996

The first theatrical film for the popular NHK Educational anime Nintama Rantaro. First-year ninja trainees Rantaro, Kirimaru and Shinbei tackle new incidents alongside their schoolmates at the Ninja Academy. With its friendly art style, breezy gags and gentle educational humour scaled up for the big screen, it remains an accessible entry point to children's anime cinema.
