After resolving a local crisis in a small kingdom, they are tasked with a new mission: rescuing the royal princess.

User helenstar (Score: 8/10):
The Violinist of Hameln movie takes after the manga instead of the anime. Keeping its light hearted, slap-stick comedy that the tv series sorely lacked made it more enjoyable for a fan of the manga. The main tribute that the Hameln series has to offer is its great classic music scores, which the main character Hamel provides to suit his own needs (as per usual and as much to Flute's dismay). The art work it directly linked to that from the manga, and seems to flow better then it did in the tv series (meaning less still frames and more movement and action). Though a bitshort, and really out of the way for the characters' journy, it made for a good light hearted anime to pass the time.
