Punch's Journey

One small monkey, one big lesson in kindness. A 7-minute journey you will never forget.

IMDbAnimationDramaFamily

Inspired by the viral true story of Panchi-kun, an infant macaque rejected by his mother at Ichikawa City Zoo, Japan. In this fictionalized narrative short, Punch finds fleeting comfort with Uma, an abandoned Persian kitten, endures cruel rejection from Garo, a bullying troop member, and discovers protective love from the gentle guardian Go-chan.
