One of the three best anime movies ever!!

Rating: 10/10 (6 December 1999)

I was worried going into the theatre knowing that the film I was about to see was an english dubbed feature. And knowing that most dubbed anime is not half as true to the original japanese dialogue. (with the exeption of Ranma 1/2 and Dominion Tank Police) The more recent Miyazaki releases have been considerably butchered. How should I say it....this movie encompassed all of the emotion, and sublime beauty of Nausicaa and Tonari no Totoro!! The scenery is lush with detail. The animation is astounding. And the acting was suprisingly good. If you're worried about seeing an english dubbed anime and are waiting for the dvd, please see this on the big screen before it's too late! Definately on par with the two best anime films out there! Grave of the Fireflies and the Wings of Honimese!
