Poupelle of Chimney Town (animated steampunk film: trailer).
There’s a steampunk animated film coming this Xmas (December 25th 2020), Poupelle of Chimney Town, based on the best-selling (in Japan, at any rate) children’s picture book by Japanese comedian Akihiro Nishino.
Poupelle? Sounds like what Santa might do down a chimney if he’s caught short on the job.
The film looks interesting, but the Jackelian universe, it sure ain’t!
Here’s the official blurb:
Poupelle of Chimney Town tells the story of young Lubicchi living among the thick smoke from the chimneys of his isolated town. Lubicchi yearns to see the stars and blue sky his father always told him about, and one fateful Halloween night he meets Poupelle, made of rubbish and scraps stuck to a wayward heart.
