When You’re Feeling Sad and Lonely, Look to the Sky

Romeo, a poor kid living in a Swiss village, bravely sells himself into servitude as a chimney sweep in order to save his family. On his way to Milan he meets a mysterious boy named Alfredo, and they become fast friends. Life as a chimney sweep is hard and dangerous. But together, and with the help of some new friends - the "Black Brothers" - Romeo and Alfredo find themselves striving for a better life.

One of the best loved installments in Nippon Animation's legendary World Masterpiece Theater line of TV series that spanned generations, Romeo's Blue Skies makes its North American debut in a remastered widescreen edition.

A Series That Captivated The World

Romeo's Blue Skies has never been released in English before, with American broadcasters deeming it too emotional for American audiences.

But worldwide, it's a different story, having been broadcast in Italy, Spain, Morocco, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Qatar, Indonesia, South Korea, Bahrain, Iran, and U.A.E.

Find out for yourself why this gem is still beloved 30 years after its original broadcast.
