■Watch a movie on Parent-Child Day! "100 Movies to Watch with Your Child":http://tsutaya.jp/oyako100/
TSUTAYA has compiled a list of must-see films for the summer of 2016, titled "100 Movies Parents and Children Want to Watch Together," which are films that parents and children can enjoy from their own perspectives and that will spark communication after the viewing. With the hope that children will develop richer sensibilities through movies, TSUTAYA has selected these films from the many available to watch. We have selected classic and excellent works that can be enjoyed by the whole family and will help develop individuality. Furthermore, application forms for the "2016 Movie Review Contest," in which customers can express their feelings about a movie in the form of a review, will be distributed in-store, helping to cultivate the ability to put emotions into words and communicate them.
This summer, TSUTAYA will once again offer you the opportunity to discover exciting films, be moved, and spend irreplaceable time with your family. We hope you enjoy a fun time with your family this summer with the entertainment that TSUTAYA has to offer.
"100 Movies for Parents and Children to Watch Together" is a carefully selected list of 100 excellent titles that will move parents and children together, move them to tears, touch their hearts, and sharpen their sensibilities, all of which have been carefully selected by TSUTAYA's movie staff. Enjoy a wonderful time watching movies with not only your parents and children, but also your grandparents.
■ A word from Shiroshita, TSUTAYA's movie manager
"We have carefully selected 100 recommended titles that we hope many customers, both adults and children, will see this summer, from the latest releases of foreign, Japanese, and animated films to classic classics.
The 100 titles include works that depict the importance of family and friends, works that depict people working hard towards their dreams despite being on the verge of giving up, and works that depict great adventures that can only be experienced in the movies. We recommend works that will not only move children, but also serve as an opportunity for parents to remember what is important.
We hope that this will be an opportunity for parents and children to enjoy movies together, looking back at past films such as "Finding Nemo," whose sequel is currently a huge hit in theaters, the "Ghostbusters" series, the latest installment of which will be released in August, and the "Harry Potter" series, the newest installment of which will be released in November, and to look back at the early series, which will be nostalgic for parents and fresh for children, and to talk about the highlights of the series together. "
■What is Parent-Child Day? http://www.oyako.org/jp/oyakonohi/
It was named by American photographer Bruce Osborn. He came to Japan in 1980 and began his full-scale activities in Japan. He is famous for his life's work, the "Parent and Child" series. In 2003, together with his wife and producer Yoshiko Inoue, he proposed that the fourth Sunday of July be designated as "Parent-Child Day." The following year, the "Parent-Child Day Promotion Committee" was established, and various activities have been carried out. We propose a day to reaffirm the basic parent-child relationship, which is equally given to all people and can exist for all.
■ Express your emotions during the film! "Film Review Contest 2016":http://www.kinenote.com/main/feature/moviereport2016/
