The film, which features the voice talent of the hit Disney XD show, follows Nate Adams and his Yo-kai friends, Whisper and Jibanyan, as they’re transported to the past to help Nate’s grandfather, Nathaniel, battle evil Yo-kai and invent the Yo-kai Watch. Created and developed by Level-5, “Yo-Kai Watch” is a fantasy role-playing game and anime series that depict a world where “Yo-kai” (supernatural beings only seen by using a special device, the Yo-kai Watch, responsible for everyone’s daily annoyances) co-exist with humans and affect their day-to-day lives.
“Yo-Kai Watch’s” popularity soared as the TV anime based on the game began broadcasting across Japan in 2014. In 2015, the original game was released in North America by Nintendo, and the TV series began on Disney XD.
Tickets can be purchased online by visiting www.fathomevents.com or at participating theater box offices. The site includes a complete list of theater locations (theaters and participants are subject to change).
