The official website for Kaiketsu Zorori: Lalala♪ Star Tanjō (A Star Is Born, a reference to the American films of the same name), the first new anime film based on Yutaka Hara’s Kaiketsu Zorori children’s book series in five years, unveiled a new visual and teaser trailer for the film on Wednesday.
The books inspired a 1993 film, a 2004-2005 television anime series, another television anime from 2005 to 2007, and a second film in 2006.
The film will be based on the 2019 Kaiketsu Zorori: Star Tanjō book, but will have a new take on the story.
Atsuhiro Tomioka, the main writer for the previous two Kaiketsu Zorori television anime, is returning to pen the film’s script.
