Production notes

Pucca loves Garu, and she wants to kiss him every day. Young Garu has a different idea: he's following the stoic path of the Ninja, and he wants to be left in peace. Pucca's uncles want to perfect their restaurant's noodle recipe, and Abyo just wants to rip his shirt off and be like Bruce Lee.

Funny love and kung-fu kicks abound in this comedy starring this well-loved Asian licensing starlet.
