I wasn't sure what to expect when I sat down to watch this film. I love the style of anime art, but sometimes the stories are quite strange. So in this movie you bring in Disney to help out. I had read the reviews online saying that this is the greatest anime ever, its not. It's ok, very watchable. I expected a more western plot line considering Disney was involved. It was not. That is not necessarily a bad thing. But the story was strange. No more stranger than any other anime but still strange. The art was pretty, but the four part Macross Plus series is still the best animated Japanese toon I have seen to date. I liked Mononoke, but didn't think it was a wonderful movie. The story was a bit lacking, and and the art work was not what everyone is making it out to be. I have seen better. I did find it funny though that Disney doesn't want to associate themselves with this cartoon here in America. Apparently they are afraid it will hurt their image. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a 5 for plot, and an 7 for art.
