Noriyasu seems like an average third-grader, but his life goes haywire after he catches his mother reading his private daily journal. In an effort to astonish her, he begins writing outlandish lies about a giant snake in the bathroom, cooking pencils for dinner, and a rain of pigs, but Noriyasu is the one who's shocked when his writings play out in reality and everyone else treats the events as normal. Things become even more chaotic when he takes several stabs at being a newspaperman, producing “fake news” that become the talk of the town and one resulting in an apocalyptic porcine holiday.

Hare Tokidoki Buta
For anyone who recalls seeing Tokyo Pig in the 2000s on Fox Family, you may recall the premise for this anime. This is an earlier anime adaptation of the Japanese children's novel series focused on Noriyasu making bizarre things he writes about come to life. It's mostly comedy-driven from the things Noriyasu writes about and being bewildered by them coming true. The film seems like it's aimed for younger audiences based on its simple drawing style and premise, and the anime's seemingly appropriate to show to them. However beyond that audience, there isn't much rewatchability for older audiences to get out of this film as it's otherwise mostly forgettable beyond its comedy.
