子ぎつねヘレン - Kogitsune Helen (Helen the Baby Fox)

Check out this ultra-cute creature in this heart-warming Japanese movie due to open next Thursday!



It is about a young boy from the city who discovers a 'northern fox' puppy near the side of the road. Unfortunately, the pup is both blind and deaf, like Helen Keller (thus named Helen). Despite the objections of the people around him, he decides to take care of Helen, and eventually, they become impressed with Helen's will to live on and the strong bond between the boy and Helen. I do not know if Helen will die in the end (seemingly so in the trailer), and if it does, I am gonna bawl my heart out.

Being a softie for such adorable animals, I cannot help but gush about this movie. Even if you have no compassion for cute little animals, you should at least be touched by the dreamy Japan countryside sceneries (or whichever way). Not for the hard-hearted like Bong, though.
