Penguin Highway Japan Hiroyasu Ishida, 2018, 118 min In Japanese with English subtitles Recommended Ages 10+ Aoyama is a precocious kid crazy for science. He calculates the days until he is grown up, and keeps a scientific notebook at the ready. He's got hypotheses and independent variables down pat. But some topics he hasn't mastered: How do the laws of attraction operate? What is this emerging feeling for his hygienist-turned-tutor? As if puberty isn't enough of a mystery, he must uncover what’s causing hordes of "kawaii" penguins to invade his suburban town, with help from the bright girl from his class. A charming tangle of scientific principles, fantastical physics, and baffling hormonal surges, Penguin Highway's destination is the journey, all right.*   *Tween fixation with and objectification of female anatomy
