Wiki.
Jarinko Chie (Japanese: じゃりン子チエ, lit. "Chie the Brat"), also known as Downtown Story, is a 1981 Japanese animated film co-written and directed by Isao Takahata, based on the manga of the same name by Etsumi Haruki. It stars the voices of Chinatsu Nakayama, Norio Nishikawa, Kiyoshi Nishikawa, Kyoko Mitsubayashi, and Gannosuke Ashiya. The film takes place in a working class town in Osaka, where sly and street smart Chie navigates the adult world around her, seeking to reform her father's behaviour and keep her family together.
Distributed by Toho, it was released in Japan on 11 April 1981, Jarinko Chie has received generally positive reviews since its release date, particularly for its social concern and comedy. After the film's success, Takahata served as the chief director for a follow-up TV series. The film makes extensive use of local geography and culture, the characters use Kansai dialect, and Chie herself has remained a popular character in Osaka.
