Very very good movie.

Rating: 9/10 (30 October 2003)

It's about time Miyazaki san was recognized for his outstanding works. Hopefully this will have a ripple effect and reveal all of Studio Ghibli talent.
This movie is typical Miyazaki, not my favourite but by no means my least favourite. Check out Pom Poko (Raccoon Wars) or My Neighbour Totoro for other greats.
