installment in the smash-hit “Sumikko Gurashi the Movie” series, which will be released nationwide on Friday, October 31, 2025. There are two types of theater programs: the “regular version” and the “special version.” In addition to the content featured in both the “Regular Edition” and the “Special Edition,” which are chock-full of stills from the film, including introductions to the story and characters, and episodes from Sumikkogurashi’s Great Sky Adventure, you can also enjoy content exclusive to each program. The “Regular Edition” comes with a cute bonus! The Standard Edition includes cute paper dolls of the Sumikko Gurashi characters, play backgrounds, and a
specially-included table for deciphering the secrets of the “ancient letters” passed down in the Kingdom of the Sky, the setting of the film, which holds the key to the story. This program is fun for both children and adults, as you can decipher the ancient messages that appear in the film together with the Sumikko Gurashi characters and play in the world of the film.
