The warawara are a representation of the kids who growed up watching their movies and seeing them working around them is a representation of the studio working thinking of the kids. Later, in the movie you can see them "growing up" too.

I wish we normalized this style of animation more. Yes it’s usually more expensive and it takes longer to make, but the result is always breathtaking ❤❤❤
