[ Story ]

Based on the award-winning novel by A.F. Harrold and illustrator Emily Gravett, Studio Ponoc's "The Imaginary" is a beautifully hand-drawn animated feature film that portrays the depths of humanity and creativity through the eyes of young Amanda and her conjured companion, Rudger. Her imagined adventures launched from her attic lead them to discover a magical world of creatures and places never before seen until an accident, and then a sinister force, threatens to destroy their friendship. Directed by renowned animator Yoshiyuki Momose, "The Imaginary" is an unforgettable adventure of love, loss, and the healing power of imagination.
