Haruka is an ordinary teenager. Her mother left this world when she was only a little child, and her father has been looking after her ever since. But now that she's 16, communication with her ever-absent workaholic father is not at its best, and "home" has become synonymous of solitude. One day, in a shrine yard, Haruka spots a strange creature resembling a fox, carrying a toy plane. But as she goes after the funny animal, she finds herself on... Oblivion Island! This is an amazing place entirely made of memorabilia coming from the human world. And here, Haruka will encounter the memories of her childhood. But humans are not supposed to be on Oblivion Island, and the Baron, who rules that world, has put his eye on that unexpected intruder.
And from here, the story bends dramatically into an unpredictable direction at increasing and uncontrolled speed...
Will Haruka find her long lost memories and make it up with them?

The main character, Haruka, is voiced by Ayase Haruka. Movie is really good. It uses mostly CG, but there are some scenes involving hand drawn animation with CG. Overall, the movie is very good. PQ and AQ are very solid, with strong colors, blacks, and I noticed no aliasing or problems with the CG. The PQ looked strong compared to the 35mm version I saw. SQ was excellent and there was an appropriate use of the LFE. I thought the overall package deserves a 5/5. I thought the movie rivaled any of Pixar's recent movies. I only hope some publisher in the UK, US, KOR or HK releases an English subbed version so more people can enjoy this.

This movie comes in a LE (pictured above) and a SE, which uses a different cover. LE comes in a nice box with a mini artbook/storyboard.

I will check if it is Region Free if asked.
