A Letter to Momo
Movie • 2012 • Comedy
ReportSynopsis
Clinging to an unfinished letter written by her recently deceased father, young Momo moves with her mother from bustling Tokyo to the remote Japanese island of Shio. Upon their arrival, she begins to explore her new habitat, meeting local children and learning their routines and customs. However, it's not long before several bizarre occurrences crop up around the previously tranquil island. Orchards are found ransacked, prized trinkets start disappearing and, worst of all, each morning after her mother leaves for work, Momo hears strange mumblings coming from the attic of their home. Annoyed by these creepy goings-on and her mother's refusal to believe them, Momo embarks on a strange and supernatural adventure to discover the source of the mischief, which leads her to a trio of troublesome imps: the flatulent lizard Kawa, the childlike Mame and their hulking ogre leader Iwa. Momo also learns that her visit to the island is in some way connected to her father's mysterious letter.

One of the goblins slaps Momo on the butt to tease her that she’s not doing a dance correctly. It’s not framed as sexual in any way but could still be triggering

Sort of - there are lots of nature spirits and some of them look bug-like, though none directly resemble real bugs

The goblins have been sent to watch over Momo, so they follow her around without her knowing, but with good intentions

Momo’s father dies before the beginning of the movie, but there are several flashbacks to his interactions with Momo and it’s central to the story
