時をかける少女
The critical reception in Japan was favorable but mixed when compared to that of other Ghibli movies. Miyazaki was presented Japan's Bunshun Raspberry Award for "Worst Director", with "Tales from Earthsea" receiving the award for "Worst Movie", at the end of 2006. The film was nominated in 2007 for the Japan Academy Prize for Animation of the Year (losing to "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time") and was selected in the "Out of Competition" section at the 63rd Venice Film Festival.
