Watch Hime Chen! Otogi Chikku Idol Lilpri


All the standard DVDs features are here with the DVD release. There's a 19-minute “Making of” featurette with lots of interview time with director Takashi Nakamura, production sketches, animatics for key scenes, and Japanese promos and trailers. The english dub is up to usual ADV standards. If you like their standard stable of voice actors, then you'll like A Tree of Palme's dub.

A Tree of Palme's biggest shortcoming is the fact that it just tries to do way too much in the time it has. It's not a a bad film by any means. Anyone who still pines for the days when cel animation was king will probably enjoy the two hour investment in this animated film. It just can't fit properly into the time it has. What could have been a beautifully rendered tale of what it is to be human is completely lost underneath layers of unneeded plot and obfuscation. It's a shame that such a beautiful setting had to be crammed into a short amount of time like this. A longer OVA or TV series would have probably served this whole production much better.
