A Junk Film

Rating: 1/10 (19 March 2005)

IT is so sad to see animated films that are just a waste of time. Might as well waste time watching new and dumpy cartoons on television. The director has gone crazy with this one, creating odd looking hags, vomiting freaks and a dumb protagonist. There was no point to the magical elements or even imagination that might have been in this movie because it was bloated with eccentricity.
I wonder why, though, because his other film, Princess Mononoke is a wonderful film with a good theme, meaning and character development. It seems that if you want to see animated films, you should just skip over Spiritied Away and try the Triplets of Belleville - that is truly a fine film.
