Jeremy M A very beautifully visualized movie, and a fantastic adaptation of the book that it was based on. It's gorgeous in every way, and takes you places that you may not have thought possible. It's rich material and fine storytelling for multiple generations. There is enough reinforcement of how this world works that my 6 year old was able to understand what was at stake throughout, and it was done efficiently that I didn't feel like I was being walked through everything--there's enough exposure before explanation that you're given the chance to figure things out yourself, which is probably when it hits most emotionally. I really enjoyed the music. It wasn't just something backing the dialogue and animation, but a much more active participant, revisiting themes and driving through the final scenes. I was able to catch this in a theater, and was also impressed by the multichannel mix. I'll miss that at home. Highly recommend, and I wish it had a larger theatrical release as it is the most emotionally powerful animated film this year. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/14/24 Full Review Kesi B I disliked this movie so much that I almost did not finish. It was convoluted and lacked any of the charm of a Ghibli movie while having the nerve to attempt the animation style. There were several unnecessary characters and plot lines. The protagonist was not likable or relatable in the least. The movie contained too much peril to be watchable by younger viewers but was too emotionally stunted to be viewable by adults either. Swing and a miss. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/25/25 Full Review Esra Y Very sweet, cute and heartwarming. Both themes and animation style hints Ghibli inspiration. I would give it 5 stars if villain wasn't one tone and annoying for my taste. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/23/25 Full Review BeautifuL R This is a very nice movie indeed. 😍 A movie that reminds us how colorful, jolly, and full of adventure our imagination was during our childhood days. Age is just numbers and let's not forget the beautiful things we have experienced during those days. We may not be as young as yesterday but only our physical body grows old but our heart is still young. Hope you watch this with your kids, this is a one great movie for the whole family.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/15/25 Full Review Paul S This was such an amazing film. The animation was beautiful and the story was fun and heartwarming. I highly recommend watching it! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/16/25 Full Review Matthew R I mean. if you're twelve. Or emotionally stunted. Or i guess if you were insanely addicted to asian cartoons (not really sure if this counts as anime). At any rate. If you are one of the above, you might like it.
