Superlatives fail....

Rating: Null/10 (27 May 2001)

Why is this movie only at #99? Plus why are people so bothered about the cocktail of accents - isn't that part of why films are dubbed? If you're going to give the characters Japanese accents then you might as well have them speaking Japanese - both versions being available on the DVD to cater for choosy people. The bonus here is that there's a proper dub job with a nice cast, unlike what befalls most anime. Studio Ghibli's flagship at the forefront of anime continues to beat off allcomers animated or not with another classic for all time.
