Quotes:

Future Ataru: Damn you, Lum! All I did was create a harem. Although, to get money for the harem, I did sell all your stuff. But that wasn't enough, so I tricked you into working as well. And the room was small, I made you sleep on the roof, and I didn't feed you either. But... but... just because of that, you left me?
Ataru: Of course she did, you bastard!
[Whacks him with mallet.]

Very good..

Shinobu, Lum, and Ataru end up in a strange wonderland type of dimension where futures are made, after having found a key left by a boy in a rabbit suit. With doors everywhere, they enter different doors, seeing what possible futures await them, and eventually get a crack at designing their own futures.

It's a pretty good movie, and it's only about an hour long. The animation, story, and everything is up to par with other Urusei Yatsura movies. The characters are cute, as they all have to wear bunny suits throughout the majority of the story.

Unfortunately, their isn't any English dubbing available for this, only subtitles. But that's not too bad, considering how they keep changing the voices every time they dub one of these. It would've been nice if they had just kept using the same voices they used for Beautiful Dreamer. Anyway, this was good, you should see it.
