Notes
  • Literal title translation: I am two years old.
  • Audie Bock comments that "His 44th film is a light departure for Ichikawa and scenarist wife Wada, who generally produced serious literary adaptations. The story, while not exciting in terms of plot, succeeds in its fine, ironic characterizations, and in a remarkable capturing of the baby's point of view on his own life and the people with whom he lives. Animation sequences add to the child's -eye view, and reveal one of the greatest early influences on the director: Walt Disney."
