My Neighbors the Yamadas

The little victories of the quirky Takashi Yamada and his wacky wife Matsuko, are followed in this touching animation from Studio Ghibli. The Yamadas navigate their way through the ups and downs of work, marriage, and family life with a sharp-tongued grandmother who lives with them, a teenage son who wishes he had cooler parents, and a pesty daughter whose loud voice is unusual for someone so small. Even the family dog has issues! Humourous and heartbreaking, My Neighbors the Yamadas shows us how one family copes with life’s little conflicts, problems and joys in their own way.
