Lu Over the Wall
From visionary anime auteur Masaaki Yuasa (Mind Game, Ping Pong, Adventure Time) comes a joyously hallucinogenic but family-friendly take on the classic fairy tale about a little mermaid who comes ashore to join a middle-school rock band and propel them to fame.
Kai is talented but adrift, spending his days sulking in a small fishing village after his family moves from Tokyo. His only joy is uploading songs he writes to the internet. When his classmates invite him to play keyboard in their band, their practice sessions bring an unexpected guest: Lu, a young mermaid whose fins turn to feet when she hears the beats, and whose singing causes humans to compulsively dance – whether they want to or not.
Winner of the Grand Prize at the prestigious Annecy Animation Festival and an official selection of Sundance 2018Lu Over the Wall is a toe-tapping, feel-good demonstration of Yuasa's genre-mixing mastery that will leave you humming long after you leave the theater. 
In Japanese with English subtitles | Rated PG | 2017 | 112 min | Directed by Masaaki Yuasa
