For more than a century, movies have been adapted from novels, plays, television shows and real-life historical events.
Dream Animals: The Movie is a colourful, family-friendly animation inspired by the Japanese snack of the same name.
The bite-sized animal-shaped cookies emblazoned with words such as โlionโ, โmonkeyโ, and โrabbitโ โ in English โ have been a beloved confection around the world since they were first launched by Japanese food giant Ginbis in 1978.
Until now, they have existed solely as a snack, but writer Tetsuhiro Ikeda and director Hitoshi Takekiyo have conjured up an entire action-packed universe for these animal crackers to inhabit.
