Synopsis
Grave of the Fireflies
In the final months of World War II, 14-year-old Seita and his sister Setsuko are orphaned when their mother is killed during an air raid in Kobe, Japan. After a falling out with their aunt, they move into an abandoned bomb shelter. With no surviving relatives and their emergency rations depleted, Seita and Setsuko struggle to survive.
Tea Pot Town
Created in conjunction with Lipton as a soft-sell for its products, Tea Pot Town seems largely inspired by the Sunshine Makers narrative. Just as Sunshine Makers promoted milk - showing cheerful gnomes using it to cheer up their gloomy rivals - Tea Pot Town purported that drinking tea once per day added positivity to life and helped chase away negative thoughts.
