Director Kellan Stover and the crew at Powerhouse Animation in Austin dial up the anime flavor in these two branded short films for Magnum Ice Cream to address “the deep and meaningful pleasure that comes from being true to who you are.”

The two Pleasure Tales films will screen during the 25th edition of the Japanese Film Festival Australia from Feb 6th to March 3rd.

Magnum: “As anime art has been used to express the things that cannot be said in the real world, Magnum created two stories… part of Pleasure Tales by Magnum, an ongoing anthology of animated shorts tied with one common thread: the search for true pleasure.”
