We zoom out and the drool belongs to a Nuu, who forms one half of the music/dance group Nuumamonja, the other half of which, an annoyingly sprightly Poyozo, twirls in from offscreen as the title comes up. The screen then fades to black and a strand of drool ticks back and forth, as you may recognize from the Chrono Trigger intro video. The story begins in the kingdom of Guardia as the citizens work together in brotherly love and harmony to set up for the Millenial Fair, which marks the 1000-year anniversary of the founding of the kingdom. Main value lies in trying to recognize all the characters and in Gato, who is a freakin' badass. I think it's cute, but I would have preferred Square to have made a video featuring the main characters if they were going to bother making a film. The music is also ripped directly from the game, so this may be either a good thing if you're a reminiscer, like me, or a bad thing, if you're hoping for instrumental versions of the game music.Īnimation style is a bit low-quality, just typical Saturday morning stuff, and was probably handled by the same studio as did Dragon Ball, since Toriyama did character designs for both that and CT, and 'Nuumamonja' has that same light-hearted animation style. Leene's bell rings to signal the opening of the fair. Masa and Mune's combined form competes in the drinking contest. It DOES, however, have TONS of references to Chrono Trigger every creature in the crowd is a monster you fight in-game. The story follows a pretty nonsensical sequence of events as these two bungle their way through the Millenial Fair there's really not much of a plot, climax, or resolution involved, making the whole thing feel a bit flat. The actual stars are a Poyozo and a Nu who make up the musical group 'Nuumamonja'. So a lot of people who go in expecting animated adventures featuring our heroes go away disappointed. Reaction to it is usually mixed it doesn't feature any of the playable characters (except for a couple shots of the backs of Crono and Lucca's heads) and features NPCs instead, including Johnny the racing robot from 2300AD and Gato (aka Gonzales) from 1000AD.
