CATDOLL: Theatrical version of "GAMBA and Friends" released new promotional pictures, Nomura Mansai played the villain

A new cat-and-mouse war is about to begin! The 3DCG theatrical animation "GAMBA and Friends" will be released in Japan on October 10. Now the new promotional image and the news that the famous Kyogen master Mansai Nomura will play the villain Noroyi have been released. The scary white cat in the new promotional image is Noroyi.

Noroyi is a white cat that looks very beautiful, but is actually a cruel villain who sets various traps and kills a large number of mice. Not only is it the biggest enemy of the protagonists, but it also left a deep psychological shadow on the audience in the old animation. In this newly produced 3DCG animation, the terrifying aura it exudes is still as strong as before.

Mansai Nomura, who plays Noroi, is a famous Japanese Kyogen master who often appears in movies and TV dramas. He is also a regular guest on NHK children's programs and is loved by audiences of all ages. This is his second time to challenge voice acting and his first time to play a villain. We look forward to him bringing you an impressive Noroi.

"GAMBA and Friends" is adapted from the classic work "Adventurers GAMBA and 15 Friends" by Japanese children's literature writer Atsushi Saito. The original work has previously launched TV animation and theatrical animation, and is very popular in Japan. The biggest difference between "GAMBA and Friends" and its predecessor is that this is a 3DCG work, and the production team of this work is the White Group, which is responsible for the hit 3DCG animation "STAND BY ME Doraemon".

This time, the White Group will use the most advanced video technology to bring an adventure story of little mice uniting to defeat a powerful enemy. This project was conceived 15 years ago, and the production time is as long as 10 years, with a total production cost of 2 billion yen (about 100 million yuan). It is definitely a big production worth looking forward to. Moreover, this is the first new work in the "GAMBA" series after 24 years since the theatrical animation "GAMBA and Minase's Adventure" was released in 1991.
