A four-year-old's jealousy over his new baby sister opens into magical encounters connected to his family and their shared home.

Synopsis
The Anime Lad

Four-year-old Kun expects his new baby sister to be delightful until she redirects the household's attention away from him. His frustration spills into a mysterious garden, where impossible encounters connected to his family reshape ordinary domestic moments. Kun's priorities remain child-sized, so every household disappointment receives the urgency of a major emergency.

Super Eyepatch Fox

Kun is four, newly displaced by a baby sister, and furious that his parents no longer orbit him. A mysterious garden opens encounters linked to his family beyond ordinary time. These adventures place household jealousy beside a wider sense of belonging while preserving the impulsive logic of a very young child.

Gigguku

Mirai takes the volcanic jealousy of a four-year-old and gives it access to magical family encounters through a mysterious garden. Every adventure begins with something emotionally enormous to Kun and recognizably small to everyone else. The fantasy stays connected to home, where attention, frustration, and affection are all competing for space.

Father's Basement

Kun complains with the persistence of a believable four-year-old, which can make his perspective abrasive. That discomfort has purpose. His resentment toward a new baby becomes the entry point for magical encounters tied to his family. The fantasy keeps returning to recognizable domestic stress instead of replacing it with a grand quest.

One day, Kun’s mother brings home a new family member. For the four-year-old boy, joy quickly turns to disappointment when the little sister replaces her brother as the center of attention.

What defines it

Mamoru Hosoda's warm fantasy film. Whimsical and touching.
