Eye Poppin'

Rating: 9/10 (27 September 2002)

I'm biased to anything Miyazaki does. His water color palette, his depth in characters, and the way he animates motion that no one else can is just so beautiful it that all I can do is shake my head in amazement. It bothers me that western audience excuse is 'they don't get it'. Take another look and focus the details he shows us: the breath of characters, the look they express, comic timing, the imagery, the subtle philosophy, etc, etc. His films never assume his audience as immature, unlike today's American animation.
Watch this movie with the mindframe that anything can happen in this world. Unlearn what you know about cartoony animation and that animation is for children. It's the most entertaining film to come out this whole year.
