English adaptation written by Neil Gaiman. Dubbed into English. I go to the movies for many reasons. Here is one of them. I want to see wondrous sights not available in the real world, in stories where myth and dreams are set free to play.
Animation opens that possibility, because it is freed from gravity and the chains of the possible.
True, a lot of animation is insipid, and insulting even to the children it is made for. But great animation can make the mind sing. Do not allow conventional thoughts about animation to prevent you from seeing it. It tells an epic story set in medieval Japan, at the dawn of the Iron Age, when some men still lived in harmony with nature and others were trying to tame and defeat it. It is not a simplistic tale of good and evil, but the story of how humans, forest animals and nature gods all fight for their share of the new emerging order.
