==Plot==
−
''Dōbutsu no Mori''' starts with a girl named [[Ai]] traveling by cab, driven by [[Kapp'n]], to a far-away town called [[Animal Village]]. On the way, Ai is established as an enthusiastic and independent young girl, keen to experience a life on her own. After being dropped off outside of the [[Town Hall]], she is greeted by [[Pelly]] and [[Tortimer]], who heckles her over the winter vote for mayor (and does not take it too well when she does not understand his question). She is given a [[map]] and is directed to "[[Tom Nook's store|Nook's Cranny]]" - after finding her way there, she is quickly sent out on a bicycle to deliver lots of items by [[Tom Nook|Mr. Nook]], the excuse being that she ought to greet the members of the town. Sent out with a pile of goods, Ai quickly becomes friends with the dramatic [[Rosie]]. She soon delivers a box of 500 pies to [[Alfonso]], but is abruptly interrupted by his cries of ecstasy for his delivery, and a boy dressed as a ninja with a net called [[Yu]], causing Alfonso to give chase with his net leaving Ai to place the delivery in his house. She delivers to [[Whitney]], who appears cold (much like [[snooty]] villagers) and asks her to place the delivery in her house for her, it is not until she starts walking away she then realizes that Ai is new. Ai leaves Whitney and goes to the [[Able Sisters|Able Sisters']] shop, where she is greeted by [[Mabel]]. While making the delivery, she notices the clothes (a bunny shirt and cherry shirt) when suddenly [[Margie]] walks in and begins conversation between the two sisters. She leaves them to talk and we soon see Tom Nook waving at Ai after a hard day's work. She leaves for her house, walking by the beach when she is confronted by [[Yu]] after having a [[spider]] drop on her head, we soon find out Alfonso and Yu were competing against each other to catch it (much like the bug competitions in the game). After having a net dropped on her head and a cockroach thrown at her face, the scene ends with her screaming in disgust.

[[File:GDnM Taxi Arrival.png|thumb|left|200px|Ai arriving in Animal Village.]]
 +
[[Ai]], a human girl, moves to [[Animal Village]] during spring. After she arrives, she goes to town hall and is told by [[Pelly]] to meet [[Tom Nook]] at his shop to receive her house key. Once she meets Tom Nook, he gives her work to do in the form of deliveries to the village residents. During her deliveries, Ai meets [[Rosie]], [[Alfonso]], [[Whitney]], and a human boy named [[Yū]]. Afterward, she visits the [[Able Sisters]] for her last delivery and meets [[Margie]]. On her way home, Ai encounters Yū again, who attempts to catch a [[Spider]] that had landed on her; the two then introduce themselves and become acquaintances.
 +
 
 +
After several more deliveries, Ai is tasked with a delivery to [[Apollo]]. When she arrives at his house, she learns he is not home. Yū once again appears and causes Ai to fall in a patch of roses—this causes [[Mr. Resetti]] to appear and scold her; after learning what happened, he tells Ai to look in [[The Roost]] for Apollo. Ai heads to the [[museum]], where she meets [[Blathers]] and [[Celeste]], the latter of whom leads her to The Roost. Once there, Ai meets [[Cesar]] and [[Cyrano]], and shortly afterward, Apollo arrives. She makes her delivery and heads home when she encounters Margie, whom she quickly befriends. Margie reveals her dream of being a fashion designer and compares accomplishing her dream to eating a cherry pie. Later that night, Ai finds a [[Message Bottle|note in a bottle]] on the beach that reads, "Above the pine forest, on the night of the Winter Festival, a miracle will occur." She then sees what she believes to be a UFO.
 +
 
 +
The next night, Ai encounters another note in a bottle, which instructs her to plant pine [[tree]]s across Animal Village for a miracle to take place during the Winter Festival. The next day, Ai, Margie, and Rosie meet up with Yū and Alfonso, who are looking for [[fossil]]s. Rosie tells them to look in a nearby cave for fossils, which they visit and find a [[Seismosaur]]us fossil, the one fossil missing from the museum's collection; however, the cave collapses, forcing the group to leave. Later, during the [[Fireworks Show|Fireworks Festival]], Margie realizes her dream, and Ai wishes to have one of her own. Once she returns home, she reads two more letters in bottles, which reveal that an alien has been writing them, hoping to arrive on her planet during the Winter Festival and meet her.
 +
 
 +
Some time after the Fireworks Festival, Ai learns from Rosie that Margie left Animal Village to pursue her dream. Disappointed that she did not let her know before leaving, Ai goes to The Roost, where Whitney comforts her. That night, Ai receives a letter from Margie, who explains why she did not let her know that she was moving—she says she would have been overwhelmed with emotion had she approached her before leaving. Attached to the letter is a drawing of Ai and a note telling her to "eat her own cherry pie," or to follow her dreams.
 +
 
 +
In the winter, [[Tortimer]], the mayor, announces the beginning of the Winter Festival, where the resident with the best holiday decorations is crowned the winner. Ai visits the cedar trees that she is revealed to have planted earlier in the year to find them fully grown. She then visits Celeste's observatory in the museum and sees a UFO crash in the village. The townsfolk gather at the crash site, and [[Gulliver]], who claims to be an alien, steps out, explaining that five parts of his ship must be found so he can leave. The residents of the village then split up to find the parts; [[Champ]] goes to the woods, Apollo, Cyrano, and Cesar go to the mountains, Whitney searches near the ocean, and Ai, Rosie, Alfonso, and Yū head toward the cave where they found the Seismosaurus fossil. However, the entrance is blocked by a boulder, which is moved with the help of Margie, who has returned to Animal Village for the Winter Festival. The group enters the cave and finds the spaceship part on top of the Seismosaurus. Yū climbs up the fossil and retrieves the part.

 +
Once the group returns to Gulliver's ship, UFOs fly overhead, and the part they retrieved is revealed to be an alien life form. The alien appears to thank Ai before flying to the other UFOs; it then draws Ai's face as a constellation. Afterward, Tortimer announces Ai as the winner of the Winter Festival for the alien's constellation, and Ai feels for the first time that she is a true resident of Animal Village.
  
−
On the second day, Ai is sent to do more deliveries, heading to [[Apollo]]'s house (when a [[Common Butterfly]] flies passed). Again, Yu interrupts, chasing a dragonfly. This knocks Ai into Apollo's flowerbed, crushing many of his [[Flower|blue roses]]. This causes [[Mr. Resetti]] to appear - about to give a lecture on town rules. He lets her off as it was an accident. He directs her to the [[The Roost]] to find Apollo. After finishing her deliveries, Ai heads home and says hello to Margie. They quickly get along - Ai learns that it is Margie's dream to become a designer. Margie refers to a person's talent as a "cherry pie" and subsequently shakes a [[tree|cherry tree]], giving some of its fruit to Ai. On this day, we are also introduced to [[Hopper]] and [[Champ]], who feature throughout the film as minor characters.
+
During the film's end credits sequence, several still frames are displayed, showing Animal Village and its residents over the next few months. The stills include Blathers excavating the Seismosaurus fossil and adding it to the museum's collection, Whitney receiving blue roses from someone who is implied to be Apollo, and Nook's Cranny being upgraded to [[Nook 'n' Go]], among others. In a post-credits scene, set one year after Ai moved into Animal Village, Ai narrates a letter written to her mother while running toward the museum to meet Celeste. The camera then pans down to show [[Lily of the Valley|lilies of the valley]] growing.

In her search for the mysterious Apollo, Ai is directed to [[The Roost]] by Resetti. She walks into the [[Museum]] and finds an almost complete fossil exhibit, which causes her to scream. [[Blathers]] and [[Celeste]] come to see what happens. Ai notices that the fossils have information and find one fossil empty. Blathers starts mentioning facts about the empty fossil container and explains that it is his dream to see it filled. Celeste pulls her aside and directs her to the cafe.

Ai walks into the Roost, and meets two people arguing about music over a table. After inquiring if either of them is Apollo, they burst out laughing - they are [[Cesar]] and [[Cyrano]]. They claim that Apollo has been very grumpy recently, but stop talking when he enters the room. Apollo then says someone destroyed his flowers then Ai then confesses and apoligze for killing his flowers. Ai soon discovers a secret [[note-in-a-bottle]] saying: ''Plant a conifer on the snow festival and something miraculous will happen''.

As Yu tries to climb up to reach a higher one, the rocks begin to crumble and the group only just make it out. A few days later, there is festival where K.K. Slider performs [[K.K. Bossa]] upon Margie's request. Soon after, Rosie tells Ai that Margie moved away in order to fulfill her dream of becoming a designer, which makes Ai upset because Margie never mentioned it, although she soon recovers.

Gekijōban Doubutsu no Mori[nb 1] is a 2006 Japanese animated film based on Animal Crossing: Wild World. The film was directed by Jōji Shimura with production by OLM, Inc. and was released in theaters on December 16, 2006, where it earned an estimated total of ¥1.7 billion (US$16,216,731) at the box office as of 2007.[1]

The film features characters and elements from the video games and follows Ai, a human girl, as she moves into a village of animals and meets various friends along the way.

Plot[edit]

Ai arriving in Animal Village.

Ai, a human girl, moves to Animal Village during spring. After she arrives, she goes to town hall and is told by Pelly to meet Tom Nook at his shop to receive her house key. Once she meets Tom Nook, he gives her work to do in the form of deliveries to the village residents. During her deliveries, Ai meets Rosie, Alfonso, Whitney, and a human boy named Yū. Afterward, she visits the Able Sisters for her last delivery and meets Margie. On her way home, Ai encounters Yū again, who attempts to catch a Spider that had landed on her; the two then introduce themselves and become acquaintances.

After several more deliveries, Ai is tasked with a delivery to Apollo. When she arrives at his house, she learns he is not home. Yū once again appears and causes Ai to fall in a patch of roses—this causes Mr. Resetti to appear and scold her; after learning what happened, he tells Ai to look in The Roost for Apollo. Ai heads to the museum, where she meets Blathers and Celeste, the latter of whom leads her to The Roost. Once there, Ai meets Cesar and Cyrano, and shortly afterward, Apollo arrives. She makes her delivery and heads home when she encounters Margie, whom she quickly befriends. Margie reveals her dream of being a fashion designer and compares accomplishing her dream to eating a cherry pie. Later that night, Ai finds a note in a bottle on the beach that reads, "Above the pine forest, on the night of the Winter Festival, a miracle will occur." She then sees what she believes to be a UFO.

The next night, Ai encounters another note in a bottle, which instructs her to plant pine trees across Animal Village for a miracle to take place during the Winter Festival. The next day, Ai, Margie, and Rosie meet up with Yū and Alfonso, who are looking for fossils. Rosie tells them to look in a nearby cave for fossils, which they visit and find a Seismosaurus fossil, the one fossil missing from the museum's collection; however, the cave collapses, forcing the group to leave. Later, during the Fireworks Festival, Margie realizes her dream, and Ai wishes to have one of her own. Once she returns home, she reads two more letters in bottles, which reveal that an alien has been writing them, hoping to arrive on her planet during the Winter Festival and meet her.

Some time after the Fireworks Festival, Ai learns from Rosie that Margie left Animal Village to pursue her dream. Disappointed that she did not let her know before leaving, Ai goes to The Roost, where Whitney comforts her. That night, Ai receives a letter from Margie, who explains why she did not let her know that she was moving—she says she would have been overwhelmed with emotion had she approached her before leaving. Attached to the letter is a drawing of Ai and a note telling her to "eat her own cherry pie," or to follow her dreams.

In the winter, Tortimer, the mayor, announces the beginning of the Winter Festival, where the resident with the best holiday decorations is crowned the winner. Ai visits the cedar trees that she is revealed to have planted earlier in the year to find them fully grown. She then visits Celeste's observatory in the museum and sees a UFO crash in the village. The townsfolk gather at the crash site, and Gulliver, who claims to be an alien, steps out, explaining that five parts of his ship must be found so he can leave. The residents of the village then split up to find the parts; Champ goes to the woods, Apollo, Cyrano, and Cesar go to the mountains, Whitney searches near the ocean, and Ai, Rosie, Alfonso, and Yū head toward the cave where they found the Seismosaurus fossil. However, the entrance is blocked by a boulder, which is moved with the help of Margie, who has returned to Animal Village for the Winter Festival. The group enters the cave and finds the spaceship part on top of the Seismosaurus. Yū climbs up the fossil and retrieves the part.

Ai and the alien
The trees planted by Ai around the village, lit up in the shape of a star.

Once the group returns to Gulliver's ship, UFOs fly overhead, and the part they retrieved is revealed to be an alien life form. The alien appears to thank Ai before flying to the other UFOs; it then draws Ai's face as a constellation. Afterward, Tortimer announces Ai as the winner of the Winter Festival for the alien's constellation, and Ai feels for the first time that she is a true resident of Animal Village.

During the film's end credits sequence, several still frames are displayed, showing Animal Village and its residents over the next few months. The stills include Blathers excavating the Seismosaurus fossil and adding it to the museum's collection, Whitney receiving blue roses from someone who is implied to be Apollo, and Nook's Cranny being upgraded to Nook 'n' Go, among others. In a post-credits scene, set one year after Ai moved into Animal Village, Ai narrates a letter written to her mother while running toward the museum to meet Celeste. The camera then pans down to show lilies of the valley growing.
