“Panda! Go Panda! Rainy Day Circus,” first released in 1973 — more than a decade before the founding of Studio Ghibli — will screen on May 25 at Akihabara UDX Theater in Tokyo’s Chiyoda ward.
“Rainy Day Circus” is a sequel to 1972’s “Panda! Go Panda!”. The first movie follows Mimiko, a cheerful girl who welcomes a father panda and his cub into her home, leading to various adventures. In the sequel, the three meet a new friend, the tiger Tora-chan, and help save a circus and their friends from a flood.
Fans still notice Miyazaki’s reuse of elements from his earlier work, such as the resemblance between the father panda’s grin and Totoro’s in “My Neighbor Totoro.”
