Ōno made her film debut providing the voice of the title character in the 2023 anime feature Totto-Chan: The Little Girl at the Window.

The film is based on the popular Tabekko Dobutsu snacks from the company Ginbis and was produced by Marza Animation Planet. Directed by Hitoshi Takekiyo, the story follows a group of singing and dancing animal idols in Sweets Land. Ōno's character, Pero, is a young girl who assists the Dream Animals as they attempt to rescue their friend Pegasus from the villainous King Gotton. At a preview screening event for the film in April 2025, Ōno spoke about her favorite character, Pegasus, and praised the singing ability of her co-star Akari Takaishi. Her other co-stars in this film include Genta Matsuda, Tomokazu Seki, and Akio Otsuka.
