Connor & Riley just couldn't resist talking about another animated film for this miniseries. They talk how everyday life can look extraordinary in animation when it's in the hands of Isao Takahata. So much beauty and simplicity is portrayed in Only Yesterday, that it's a real shame that Disney didn't release it to the U.S. until 2016.
