When I was a kid my Mom went back to college to get her Master's Degree. She had to take a class on culture and did one on postwar East Asian popular culture. She had to watch a movie for one of her assignments and she watched one called Yobi: The Five Tailed Fox. It's one of my favorite movies from when I was a kid. I haven't seen it since but I remember it being fantastic. Thoughts, /co/?

I haven’t seen it in years either. The only thing I sorta remember was being a little confused that they chose to mix the folkloric magic fox kid with funny little aliens. Seemed like a mash of two genres I didn’t think fit together, or at least that’s how I remember feeling at the time. I think I remember it being an alright movie, though. Probably slightly comparable to Lilo and Stitch.

OP posted about an animated movie?

Well you see Anon, he's not performatively crowing about a movie making x amount of money or schizoposting about IP law, so he's totally offtopic. Disgraceful really. You'd think this was a place to talk about Cartoons and Comics or something.

Western media only

Yeah, Korea is west of Japan.

Western world

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_world

Corean and chinese media are in limbo here, is not /a. Until they fo a /wt board, it's/co

That’s not what western means in the rules.

By your definition, everything is western

In /co/ context it means non-Japanese

Not Japan. They get to be the entire East because they get /a/.

Funny thing was that I was originally going to post this on /a/ but immediately thought the same thing and knew they would chew me out. Then I realized that because for most of history 90% of Western cartoons were made in Korea that this would be a better place to post.

Sounds interesting but could you have used a smaller picture OP

I tried but there is jack shit about this movie online. It has no fandom, isn't available for streaming, and there are almost no good stills from it around. I remember it for being one of the most surreal movies ever though.

It's on kimcartoon the online streaming service that matters. I'll give it a watch later.

That’s weird. I thought I watched it because I just happened to come across it on some random free streaming site way back in the day.

Or you can watch it on youtube

Nice! I think about this movie every once in a while as a shower thought and it's cool that it's around again. Definitely going to give it a watch.

Huh, synopsis sounds odd (aliens?) but maybe I'll give it a go

It's about how the deities and spirits of Korean folklore/paganism are a group of religious and moralistic aliens with their own perception of reality that secretly run the world and universe. Very surreal movie.
