Studio: Studio Ponoc
Status: Finished
Genres: Adventure , Fantasy

Tommorow's Leaves is a special project commissioned by the Olympic Foundation for Culture and Heritage (OFCH), animated by Studio Ponoc, made for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

The annual arrival of the message leaf causes concern – something is undeniably wrong. Its usually vibrant and lasting colours quickly fade, and it suddenly withers and crumbles. Five envoys, from five diverse lands, are dispatched to find out what has happened. The envoys travel to a distant land, quietly guided by tiny spirits. Each envoy has its own strengths and vulnerabilities. They compete and support each other as they draw closer to their destination, facing treacherous terrain and difficult conditions. Through athletic challenges and the uniting power of sport, they discover the positive fundamental values that come with playful competition. Together, the envoys approach near the source of the message leaf. Can they restore life to a future in peril?

Note: Premiered early on June 14, 2021 at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival, ahead of the cultural programme at Tokyo 2020. Also premiered at the Tokyo Skytree Round Theater on July 12, 2021.
