Event Information
Hello anime fans, this week anime society will be screening Mary and The Witch's Flower. This is the debut film of Studio Ponoc, a new studio comprised of former Studio Ghibli staff which can very much be seen in both its art style and story telling. Like our last screening, it will be held in the Wallace Lecture Theatre in the main building at 6:15. We hope to see you there.
Synopsis: It is Tib the black cat who leads Mary to the strange flower in the woods. When she discovers a little broomstick shortly afterwards, she is astonished to feel it jump into action. Before she can gather her wits, it is whisking her over the treetops, above the clouds, and into the grounds of Endor College, where: "All Examinations Coached for by A Competent Staff of Fully-Qualified Witches."
Here she discovers evidence of a terrible experiment in transformation—deformed and mutant animals imprisoned in cages. In the moment after her broomstick takes off, she realizes that Tib has been captured. Returning to the College the following day, she manages to free the animals, but not before the Head of the college, Miss Mumblechuuk, and her colleague, Doctor D, have seen her. Mary manages to flee...but the evil pair is in hot pursuit!
