'My Neighbors, the Yamadas' is a universally funny animation film that follows the daily life of the Yamada family. It uses a simple comic strip style whose quality of drawings is stunning and makes the characters look lively and real. The film does not have one overall plot but is a series of vignettes with charming characters that are quite idiosyncratic yet tolerant of each other's eccentricities and occasional disagreements; and stand firmly united as a family. This delightfully inventive film presents a slice of life with some of its wisdom and simple pleasures that will bring a smile to your face.
