Lightweight film exploring the pros and cons of raising an infant through a series of typical episodes, with occasional commentary from the child himself. This makes it something of a precursor to Look Who's Talking, something I wasn't going to forgive just because it's Kon Ichikawa. The film is shot pretty well (with a few intriguing touches like the animated "banana moon" sequence) and the acting is fine, but it's not much more than a parenting primer.
