Nice

Rating: Null/10 (26 April 2004)

I felt that the most popular anime films and shows were Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh, really stupid shows. But this film certainly put that rubbish to the ground.
The story may seem simple, a girl in a fantasy place trying to rescue her parents but it's done in the most imaginative way. All the non-human characters are wonderfully designed and has some lovely backgrounds. The animation is way better than any other anime films or shows.

It's not badly dubbed, which is a good thing, though I can't help feeling Americanised it too much, especially having John Ratzenberger again, the regular to films Pixar are involved with.
A film a family could watch, with the only real violence being a dragon bleeding but that's it. I loved it.
