Like any Miyazaki film, this is another great movie

Rating: Null/10 (20 June 2005)

I saw this movie first time ever in the theaters, I was lucky to of seen it on the Big Screen. It was a big opportunity to see a Ghibli Film on the big screen. This movie is based off of a book by Diana Wynne Jones. I read the book before seeing the film. The movie is very different than the book, but those who read it will recognize some parts fro the book.
I don't care if it wasn't 100% true to the original book, it's still a wonderful movie to see. The background, characters, animation, and voice talents is all top notch. Plus Billy crystal is perfect with his role, one of the main things that made this movie have funny moments.
Those who liked Hayao Miyazaki's previous films will enjoy this one. Anything directed, written, or has Miyazaki's name on it is worth seeing.
I give this Masterpiece a 9/10 and just as good as the acclaim Spirited Away.
I hope this movie will get an award for best Animated film of 2005.
