You Are Umasou is like my all time favorite movie- it’s actually the whole reason I started this blog in the first place! It’s such a heartwarming yet dark unique perfect story I just skjfjskshdbsj

I’m sorry the poster is in bad quality, this movie has no US release but the whole thing is avalible on youtube I reccomend it more than anything else

If you need more convincing though, I shall elaborate :3

You are Umasou is a 2010 japanese children’s film based on a picture book seires by the same name. The story centers around parenting, and the trancendent nature of a parent’s love for their child vs their instinctive nature. This might sound cheesy, but the delivery of this theme is down right inspiring and just good story telling. The pacing of the plot is fantastic and the world itself feels rich with life and adventure.

The actual plot of the film centers around a dinosaur name Heart, who is a t-rex that was raised by herbovoires who as an adult raises a herbovoire himself. He struggles with his instictive need to eat meat and his self worth of being a father, and he undergoes great character development.

The characters themselves have really simple and unique designs, and though that might seem like a turn off to some, it allows for some really kick ass animation.

I’m not kidding, there are alot of action sceens in this film that down right took my breath away.

It’s an expressive, creative, and soulful movie, and I just feel so much love from the creators in every frame. It’s an absolute must watch.

This reminds me of the single greatest thing I think I’ve ever witnessed.

I was grocery shopping once at a store where their internet was down (or whatever they used like… 15 years ago?… to communicate with credit card companies). There were signs EVERYWHERE that said “No Credit Cards at this time. All purchases are Cash Only.” Big ones at the registers too, but the cashier working my line was also telling every person before ringing them up.

This guy in front of me let the cashier ring him up and then HANDED OVER HIS DEBIT CARD. I am almost certain the cashier didn’t even say anything before calling for a manager, but when the manager got there, she was like, *totally robotic, dead voice of a person who has literally said this a THOUSAND TIMES*, “We’re cash only today.”

The customer said, “That’s a debit card. It’s just like cash.” And he was super condescending about it.

So the manager opened the cash drawer, took out a 5, 10, and a 20 dollar bill and proceeded to study all the bills next to this man’s debit card. I mean, squinting and smoothing her finger over the corners and everything. (My money is on this woman being a theater nerd, lol.)

But anyway, I’m starting to quietly lose it, because this has just turned from annoying to The Best Thing Ever in the blink of an eye.

Finally, the manager goes, “You’re absolutely right, sir. Sorry for the inconvenience, it’s EXACTLY LIKE A 10 DOLLAR BILL.” She opens the drawer, puts the bills away, PUTTING HIS DEBIT CARD ON TOP OF THE PILE OF 10S, and calmly says, “Your remaining balance is (whatever his total was less ten dollars).

Of course the asshole customer lost his fucking mind and started ranting, and I’m sure that manager caught hell for it, but dude. Best Power Move Ever.
