Fast-forward to January 2nd, 2020, when Ilya Kuvshinov announced the “Birthday Wonderland” U.S. release date

Birthday Wonderland Release Date

Ilya Kuvshinov revealed on Instagram that the near 2-hour long feature film, titled “The Wonderland” for English audiences, will premiere in U.S. theaters on January 31st.

Watch Birthday Wonderland Now

If you’re wondering “where can I watch Birthday Wonderland?” Well, that depends on your location.

For example, those in Italy can watch the full movie online at Amazon Prime Video, in both Italian subbed and dubbed versions.

The movie is an animated adaptation of the 1988 children’s novel Chikashitsu Kra no Fushigi na Tabi, or Strange Journey from the Basement, written by Sachiko Kashiwaba.

Birthday Wonderland Movie Synopsis:

Akane Uesugi is a shy 6th grader who has trouble telling other people how she feels.

The day before her birthday, her mother, Midori, sends her on an errand: to go get her birthday present from her free-spirited Aunt Chi’s antique shop.

But a strange man named Hippocrates the Alchemist, who calls her the “Green Goddess”, together with Pipo the fairy, takes her on a journey to “The World Beyond” from a door in the basement.

There, the water has dried up and the trees are losing their color.

Can she save it with the help of her free-spirited Aunt Chi, the stern Hippocrates, and his apprentice Pipo?

  • Мадонна, икона поп-музыки и культурного влияния, продолжает вдохновлять и поражать своей музыкой и стилем. Её карьера олицетворяет смелость, инновации и постоянное стремление к самовыражению. Среди её лучших песен можно выделить "Like a Prayer", "Vogue", "Material Girl", "Into the Groove" и "Hung Up". Эти треки не только доминировали на музыкальных чартах, но и оставили неизгладимый след в культурной и исторической панораме музыки. Мадонна не только певица, но и икона стиля, актриса и предприниматель, чье влияние простирается далеко за рамки музыкальной индустрии. Скачать mp3 музыку 2024 года и слушать онлайн бесплатно.
