25th Movie “Go! Anpanman: Fly! The Handkerchief of Hope” to Release on July 6

This year, the TV anime Go! Anpanman reaches the 25th anniversary of its broadcast, and the 25th movie in the series, Go! Anpanman: Fly! The Handkerchief of Hope, will be released in Japan on July 6. A new character for the movie has also been announced.

Go! Anpanman: Fly! The Handkerchief of Hope features Pao, a small elephant boy who lives above the clouds. Every day, Pao practices at the house of Saji Ojisan, who cleans the sky with handkerchiefs coming out from his nose, so that one day he will be able to to do the same. However, it doesn’t go well, and he always fails. Thinking there is nothing he can do and nothing would ever go well, he unconsciously closes himself off to the world.

Meanwhile, Baikinman is organizing the “Baikin Circus.” The newest mecha called Amazing Elephant morphs into Dirty Elephant and starts polluting the town. Pao seems to break down because of his lack of usefulness, but seeing how Anpanman never gives up and faces any difficulty, he decides to go forward and hold onto hope.

Advance tickets for the movie started being sold on April 12. Buyers who purchase their tickets on-spot will be presented with an original pouch shaped like a circus tent.
