Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Nakamura's final directorial work before his passing in 2013—the man went from psychological horror to cat island.
The source novel 'Two Years' Vacation' was Verne's attempt at a boys' adventure story; the cat swap is pure 2010s Japanese animation market logic.
