An excellent Action-Adventure film

Rating: 10/10 (22 July 2019)

The first official Studio Ghibli work. And what a work! My friend bought me this, and when I was through watching it, I thanked him. Seriously. I was so grateful to have seen it. While not my favorite Miyazaki film, it's probably in my top 3.
Of all the Japanese voice actors, Mayumi Tanaka, (The voice of Monkey D. Luffy from "One Piece"), does great as the main boy, Pazu. In the English dub, I really enjoy Mark Hamill's role as Muska. He's always been great at doing villainous voices.
I'm also continuously impressed by the animation in Miyazaki's early works. Disney, eat your heart out. Beautiful stuff, and really fun and exciting!
