# My Neighbors the Yamadas (1999)

1999 · PG · 104 min · Japan

Original title: ののちゃん
Part of: Studio Ghibli Feature Films

## Synopsis

My Neighbors the Yamadas is a 1999 Japanese animated comedy film written and directed by Isao Takahata, animated by Studio Ghibli for Tokuma Shoten, Nippon Television Network, Hakuhodo and Buena Vista Home Entertainment, and distributed by Shochiku. It is based on the yonkoma manga Nono-chan by Hisaichi Ishii. A slice of life comedy-drama, the film stars Yukiji Asaoka, Toru Masuoka, Hayato Isobata, Naomi Uno, Masako Araki, and Kosanji Yanagiya. Unlike the other films of Studio Ghibli, the film is presented in a stylized comic strip aesthetic, a departure from the traditional anime style of the studio's other works.
