What a Movie...

Rating: 10/10 (29 May 2006)

I grew up in japan when i was very young, so i had first seen this movie probably when i was about 2 or 3. We moved back to the states shortly after, and i hadn't seen the movie in years. All i could remember was really loving it, and once it recently came out on DVD in English, i was thrilled. As soon as i watched it again, i knew exactly why i was so taken with this movie. Miyazaki combines his brilliant animation with his bright imagination to create a truly spectacular film. The characters are quirky and full of personality, and help pull you into the plot immediately. With it's laugh-out-loud cute parts, beautiful animation and storyline, this will always remain of of my favorite Miyazaki works.
