I think my nephew would like this movie. He told me he likes anime. Thanks for sharing!
Sweetbearies, I’m sure your nephew will like it. And you might like it, too, because Hayao Miyazaki movies aren’t just for children. They have a lot to offer adults. Of course, this one has just now come out, so the people of Japan get to see it first! But we’ll get our chance soon.

Is it just me, or does this film need MUCH MORE coverage in the media? I know Harry Potter is hogging up all the box office news, but come on. This site is one of the few places that even mentions the film is out now in Japan.
Ken, I wholeheartedly agree! This looks to be a truly significant film. Please share this pub with other Miyazaki fans, and come back and tell us if you’ve heard anything more!
I have 4 Hayao Miyazaki movies in my NetFlix queue now! 🙂
Suzanne, that’s wonderful! I bet you’ll love them. Come back and write some review pubs!
