Animation is Film Festival isn't just anime, though that's a nice chunk of it, including the North American Premiere of "I Want To Eat Your Pancreas." And this isn't the cannibal high school teen drama you were looking for; in many ways it's much sadder. You’ll have to see it or read the synopsis to find out more. It's one of many top tier anime movies come to us from the East. We wanted to see Penguin Highway since we heard it be in theaters and now we get the premiere.
