Kujiratori (くじらとり?, lit. "Whale Hunt") is a short film shown only in the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Japan. The film has a running time of 16 minutes.[1] It is drawn in a different, simpler style compared to other Studio Ghibli films and uses bright pastel colors.
Kujiratori tells the story of school children pretending they are building a boat. As imagination replaces reality, they find themselves on the ocean, hunting for a whale. A big, gentle whale appears, accompanies them back to land and plays with them. Then the fantasy ends and the children are back in their class room.[1]
The film was shown at the 2002 New York International Children's Film Festival. It has won the Ōfuji Noburō Award at the Mainichi Film Award in 2001.
