The animation was amazing like always for studio ghibli. :)The story was exceedingly cute which matched it's animation style perfectly. If you liked My Neighbor Totoro you'd probably enjoy this film as well.
It was fun to see it in the theaters too. But sadly when I went it wasn't packed at all. Which was bad considering it was opening on Friday night. I hope that was just in my area and the film does good in ticket sales elsewhere so other Ghibli films have a chance to hit theaters here in the future. But on the up note it seemed the people that did go see it enjoy it immensely. So did anyone else go see it yet?
Yep, and like you I thought it was a very effective return to the Totoro vein Miyazaki knows how to mine. It has many really beautiful, surreal visual scenes, and the storytelling grips you like a lucid dream. As I said in my blog, if you expect the kind of plot based on a big bad villain or world-destroying threat, you''ll be disappointed. But if you approach it like a child trying to make sense out of a new, puzzling, but often beautiful world, you''ll be mesmerized.
Looks like fun to see! |
