Poupelle of Chimney Town

Poupelle of Chimney Town (Japanese: えんとつ町のプペル, Hepburn: Entotsu-machi no Poupelle) is a 2020 Japanese animated fantasy film animated by Studio 4°C, directed by Yusuke Hirota, and featuring character designs by Atsuko Fukushima.

After the two accidentally activate the mine cart they fell into, Lubicchi sees the clear sky, but now has to walk home.

In the past, Lubicchi's father, Bruno, makes a bracelet together with him, also explaining how smoke works, and in the present, a search for Poupelle begins.

The next day, Lubicchi's boss, Dan, takes Poupelle to sew clothes in hiding.

After telling Lubicchi's story, the children explain Bruno's death, being eaten by monsters after jumping off the Forbidden Cliff.

This angered the Central Bank, who arrest Letter and abolish The L, returning the town to anarchy.

Pro-L rebels, including Letter's son, then found a new country, Chimney Town, away from the Central Bank's influence and cut it off from the outside world.

The Inquisitors threaten his mother after supporting Lubicchi's speech, but the chimney sweepers fight them.

As a result of the event, Chimney Town decides to stop producing smoke, revealing the city's scenery for the first time.

The film is based on a picture book authored by Japanese actor and comedian Akihiro Nishino, who also wrote the screenplay and served as an executive producer.

Nishino had written the opening scene of the original book based on the song and requested it for use in the film.

The dub features the voices of Tony Hale, Antonio Raul Corbo, Stephen Root and Hasan Minhaj.
