Aluna U Sep 29 My Neighbors The Yamadas offers a heartfelt portrayal of everyday family life through a series of relatable and lighthearted vignettes. Its unique, minimalist art style and warm color palette enhance the emotional tone, setting it apart from other Studio Ghibli works. Full of life lessons and gentle humor, this film is perfect for family viewing and reminds us of the beauty in ordinary moments.

The film showcases several cutesy short stories (of the Yamada family) that contribute to no story building, making it feel like a Sunday comic strip in the variety section. See more Lucas O Aug 26 Rating: 62%. I was not a big fan of this film. The animation style is unique, but I didn't like it as much as the typical Ghibli style. The story itself is pretty boring and slice of life, however, there were definitely some comedic moments. I will say it is very relatable even across cultures, and the dialogue isn't too bad. Overall, though for a movie, it just felt very mid and probably not worth watching.

See more Jay W 11/26/2024 "My Neighbors the Yamadas" is what happens when you faithfully adapt a daily newspaper comic strip that has no overarching story. The whole movie is just a series of short veinlets of various lengths. The only connecting tissue between these stories are the characters, the Yamada family. The conflicts they go through are all simple, grounded realistic problems. The characters are endearing and likable enough. We just don't get to know them very well through these stories, they just seem like your typical family going through their normal everyday issues. The animation is very different from Studio Ghibli's usual style. Apparently, it was the first film that the studio did entirely through digital animation. They wanted it to appear like watercolors, and it is a visually striking style. The character designs faithfully recreate the author's original, which helps give the movie its own unique charm. The movie does not capitalize on the medium in which it is being presented in. These stories may work fine as a comic strip, but as a feature length movie, it leaves much to be desired. The scenes could be arranged in just about any order and would make just as much sense. The audience does not gain a feeling of character progression through the events in the film. If the movie was presented as a series of shorts it would be a solid purchase, but as a feature not so much.

Para matar 101 minutos sin dolor. See more Read all reviews
