Without a Doubt, One of the Greatest Animated Films of All Time

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2015)

I heard about how a lot of people absolutely loved this film yet I didn't really know why and after watching it and some comments on what the film is trying to say, I think I understand now. The story if about a young girl whose family is moving into a new house when they decide to visit a strange town on the way there. They discover that it is inhabited by monsters and spirits who visit there for relaxation and now the parents have turned into pigs leaving the girl at the mercy of these creatures-some of them actually being quite kind. I can't emphasize this enough, but the animation in this picture is amazing. It might possibly be the best ever made but the visuals aren't the only appealing thing about this picture. The story really is all about growing up and how alien it can be. Going through the same process myself, I can relate to the character very easily and I wanted her to be able to get through this whole thing alright. I would recommend this movie not just for cinephiles but everyone honestly. It's a great film that anyone of just about any age can enjoy.
