Miyazaki has done it again.

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 2006)

This film has you hooked from the beginning. Everything about it is up to the standards that have come to be expected from renowned animator Haiyo Miyazaki. The pacing of the movie is excellent, the characters unique (specificly the pirates), the musical score riveting, and the animation very well done. The voice talent behind this film also blew me away, everyone from Oscar Winner Anna Paquin, Dawson's Creek Star Josh Van Der Beek, Mark Hamil, and Andy Dick lent their voices to this stunning production. In addition to it being an overall amazing film, it is devoid of cursing and any heavy violence, but the action is still fresh, making this a movie for the entire family. Rent this immediately, and then after you are convinced that what I am saying is true, buy it. It will make the perfect addition to your DVD collection, and is a good place to start your Miyazaki film collection. Trust me in saying that all his films are equal in story and scope, but each different in it's self, and after you are through watching this gem of a motion picture, you will want to go and do just that.
