Tokyo 2164

Set in a meticulously ordered Tokyo of the future, this short animation explores a world where innovation has stifled imagination and the concept of wonder has faded. Against this backdrop, the figure of Santa Claus has been erased from collective memory, deemed an illogical anomaly. However, a resurgence of childhood wishes unexpectedly sparks his return.

The story follows the ripple effect as hope and dreams begin to re-emerge within the community, subtly altering the sterile landscape. It’s a contemplative piece reflecting on the importance of preserving creativity and embracing unconventional ideas in a rapidly evolving world. Through a blend of familiar Christmas imagery and futuristic settings, the animation serves as a gentle reminder of humanity's enduring need for aspiration and connection.
