Orphan and LonelyChaser are very proud to present the first English-subtitled version of the 1983 children's anime *Noel's Fantastic Trip * (*Noel no Fushigi no Bouken*). The movie is the brainchild of the Japanese folk-singer and children's book author Iruka, who wrote the songs and the story. Japanese R2J encode; FLAC audio. See [this blog entry](https://collectr.blogspot.com/2023/05/noels-fantastic-trip.html) for more details.
*Noel's Fantastic Trip* is part children's tale, part environmental fable. It uses the bright, primary colors of a children's book:

Iruka's songs are soothing or uplifting, and the movie is filled with Easter eggs from pop culture, including a guest appearance by the Yellow Submarine itself:

I found this movie charming; I hope you do too.
