That's a very good point. It was October and already well dark just before 6:00. Hmmmm...I'll have to watch the whole movie. A lot of Japanese kids go to private study classes after regular school ends, so it could be that....get back to you on that one. Thanks.

WOW! What great earthquake speacial effect ever seen. Its not true the dog cannot throw out and hit the wall, its fake. Animals not do that like jumping out and hits. Human won't do that too.

Love this clip.

Thanks. I agree the effect is over done, but at the same time a friend of mine was thrown out of a hotel room bed and against the wall on the other side of the room during the big Mexico City earthquake in the 1980s. Hard to believe...

What? How could an earthquake throw a dog 10 feet into the air--perfectly perpendicular to the ground--and then propel it in a straight line towards the wall? 1:08
