Amazing film
Reviewer: Rory

This was such a great film. It was similar in style to totoro , although it wasn't as good as some of the other studio ghibli films. My friends really hated the film , but I think anyone who is a fan of studio ghibli already will really like this film.
Another beautiful film from Miyazaki!

I took my 4 year old sister to see this and she loved it and as a 22 year old male I did as well. It is a great film and more beautiful than any other piece of animation outside of the Studio's work.
The story is heartwarming and easy to follow for the young ones but with enough story to keep the older generations entertained.
