Ninja Kids!!! aka Nintama Rantarô
Written by Yoshio Urasawa, based on the manga Rakudai Ninja Rantaro by Soubee Amako
Directed by Takashi Miike
Japan, 2011
This year the Fantasia Film Festival have been running screenings they call “My First Fantasia” to encourage the next generation of obsessed film geeks. The screening of Ninja Kids!!! was an unofficial extension of those screenings with a good third of the audience around ten years old.
There was a lot for them to enjoy in Miike’s colourful adaptation of Amako’s gag manga. Mixed with the slapstick and the poop jokes was a naive but touching story of a young boy from a very unsuccessful Ninja family learning what it takes to be a great Ninja.
Between the over-sized glasses of our hero Rantarō and the wacky Ninja school setting, there is a whiff of early Harry Potter to the film, mixed with buffoonish villains in Dick Tracy make-up.
