Sen is what a Disney movie should be

Rating: 10/10 (11 April 2002)

While Princess Mononoke introduced many of us to the genius of Miyazaki, Sen is his consecration as one of the best animator and storyteller of recent memory. Sen is the gorgeous, mystical, "Alice"-themed bildungsroman of a little girl from childhood to adulthood. Like in Mononoke, the imaginary world of Miyazaki of filled with enchanted creatures and gods, all of them extraordinarily original. However, Miyazaki now introduces humour to his film. He has apparently created this masterpiece as a gift to his ten-year old daughter. This is a beautiful gift that we should all benefit from.
