Great artworks on those background drawings

Rating: 6/10 (12 September 2014)

The story brings the viewers, as always expected from a Studio Ghibli's work, to a fantasy land. The fantasy mostly contains of spirits and weird things, with some elements of technology that shouldn't be around on the time frame. The animation work is great and rich in details, again as always from Studio Ghibli. But especially I liked how this movie contains some of the most beautiful still set drawings of backgrounds. As stills, they look so realistically beautiful, which also a bad side that it makes the foregrounds and moving animations seems too distinctive and don't blend well. I watched the English dubbed version and for me the voice acting is an okay performance done by experienced names.
