Guskō Budori no Denki (グスコーブドリの伝記), or The Life of Guskō Budori, is a 2012 Japanese animated film directed by Gisaburō Sugii.[2][3][4]

The movie is based on the 1932 fantasy novel by the same name by Kenji Miyazawa. Like Night on the Galactic Railroad before it, the characters are depicted as anthropomorphic cats.

It is the second animated movie adaptation of the story. The previous adaptation was released in 1994 by Bandai Visual.

North American anime distributor Sentai Filmworks have licensed the movie for digital and home video release.[5]

Only Budari and his sister Neri were left, but then Neri got kidnapped so Budari is setting out to a journey to save his homeland and the only family he has left, his sister. While traveling he found people filled with kindness and a new world which he hadn't seen before. Budori starts studying the volcanoes with scientists to find a way to get his sister back and find a solution for the cold weather phenomenon.
