When we talk about animated adaptations, it is common to mention that these are based on manga, light novels and in some cases, they are studio originals, but in this opportunity, we have a work with a very peculiar origin and we are talking about Totto-Chan The Little Girl at the Window, which is based on an autobiographical book that after decades of trying to bring it to the movies, finally will be a reality and therefore, we will know the details that accompany this adaptation, such as its creator, the plot and those involved in the project.

Totto-Chan The Little Girl at the Window confirmed for film adaptation

From the site of Comic Natalie, it has been reported that the book of Totto-Chan The Little Girl at the Window will have an animated film adaptation, something that has surprised many considering that this is not the first time it has been attempted, since all previous efforts to bring it to the big screen ended in nothing.

The film is already in production and the studio is in charge of the animation. Shin-Ei Animation, who will have Shinnosuke Yakuwa at the position of director, while in the scripts, we will again have Yakuwa, although he will be accompanied by Yosuke Suzuki and in the character design we will see Shizue Kaneko.

When will it be released?

It has been announced that the film will be released in the fourth quarter of this year, that is, during the months of October, November and December. At the moment it is not known if it will be released only in Japan or if it will have a global release.

Totto-Chan The Little Girl at the Window, an autobiographical film

As mentioned above, this animated film is based on an autobiographical book written by Tetsuko Kuroyanagi. Its publication began in February 1979 as a compilation of journal articles in the magazine in the magazine Young Woman of the publisher of Kodansha.

Success came gradually, so they decided to compile all the articles to complement what is known today as an autobiography, eventually becoming a resounding success throughout Japan.

For all of the above, Kuroyanagi received countless offers to take her book to the big screen, but for one reason or another, she ended up rejecting the proposals, so many were already convinced that it would be impossible to take this work to the movies, but after the confirmation that now it will become a film, the author shared a few words with the public.

Below we will share with you the Spanish translation:

"After I wrote "Totto-chan at the Window" in 1981, I received requests from a large number of film directors to make it into a movie. I often joke, but I still remember receiving letters from almost every film director except Akira Kurosawa. However, isn't the picture better in the heads of everyone who reads the book?

I turned them all down. So, what about the animation this time? Speaking of which... hahaha. In that case, I thought youngsters might enjoy seeing it. It still makes me happy when I go to a bookstore and hear that they have it, and I look forward to hearing the impressions of kids who have read the book. Recently, the world situation has changed in various ways, so I hope the younger generation who see this movie will think: It was interesting!"
