Helen The Baby Fox

I have missed this movie 2 years ago while I was in Japan..
Wanted to see this movie but in the end, didn't watch it..
Finally got the DVD from the store and I watched it today..

Kogitsune Helen 子ぎつねヘレン


The story is about Taichi, a young boy who has just arrived from the big city, discovers a 'northern fox' puppy crouching near the side of the road and despite the objections of those around him, decides to take care of the charming creature..
This baby fox is not only deaf and blind, but mute as well..
Inspired by the story of Helen Keller, the fox is soon named "Helen", and Taichi takes on the nickname "Sullivan" (Anne Sullivan, Helen Keller's tutor)..
The baby fox die in the end.. But the boy didn't give up till the End..
So touching.. Make me Cry..
Based on a true story, a heartwarming story of the care and love of the little boy and a vet who try to save the baby fox..

This movie has amazingly filmed scenes from rural Hokkaido..
It's So Beautiful..
The Piano Song in this Movie is So Nice and Touching too..
It is "Ashita Wo Shinjite" by Yukie Nishimura..
I love this Movie.. It moved me..
And Remember the tag lines: "If you do not cry after the movie, you have no soul."
