They used to show this on the CBS Children's Film Festival on Saturday mornings when I was a kid. I never watched it because I didn't like the title. I was a fat kid and the promo for it showed the Japanese kids being really mean. I found it free on YouTube. It was easier to take than I thought it would be. A rich overweight kid in a new school is befriended by a poor skinny kid who helps him become self-confident. Originally 51 minutes, apparently edited down to 46 minutes. The kids climb bamboo poles instead of ropes in school. From the comments on YouTube and IMDb, a lot of people just loved it.
