Hong Kong film distributor Neofilms announced on Monday that it will open Eiga Soreike! Anpanman Fuwafuwa Fuwari to Kumo no Kuni (Soreike! Anpanman the Movie: Fluffy Fuwari and the Cloud Country), the 2020 Anpanman anime film, in Hong Kong on August 5.
The film opened in Japan on June 25. The film was originally slated to open in Japan in June 2020, but was indefinitely delayed for the safety of theatergoers during the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
In the film's story, Anpanman, his friends, and the cloud child Fuwari strive to save Cloud Country. In order for flowers and plants to be healthy, Cloud Country travels to distribute clouds that can make rain and rainbows to various towns and stars. A cloud baby born in Cloud Country runs across Baikinman and his friends. After meeting them, the baby gets the name "Fuwari" and quickly grows while developing a bond with Dokin-chan.
Around that time, Cloud Country becomes unable to fly due to mysterious dirtiness. The cloud elders and children call on Anpanman and his friends for help. Baikinman runs amok after inventing the black cloud Baigumora in an attempt to become king of Cloud Country. While Cloud Country is covered in black clouds and Anpanman's world loses the light of the sun, the friendship between Fuwari and Dokin-chan develops. Anpanman and his friends have to join forces to save Cloud Country.
