Impressive

Rating: Null/10 (23 April 2003)

Grave of the Fireflies is not JUST a cartoon, its a great film in its own right. The animation is very subtle and the behaviour of the young girl is very well implemented. The Japanese version should be the one of choice since the voice acting in some of the characters in the english version do spoil it a little. I thought Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away were a tad too long but Grave of the fireflies is the perfect length at just under 90 minutes. The score of the film also deserves a mention! in short an exceptional film!!
9/10 for its time
(8/10 by todays standards set by Spirited Away etc...)
