See more Derek G 10/31/2024 Hands down one of my favorite movies of all time! So glad I was able to see this on the big screen this year for Ghibli fest! I love them showing the less well known Ghibli movies this year! See more Jamie D 02/03/2023 Ah!~ Whisper of the Heart live action was truly a dream come true if I’ve ever lived long enough to see one!🫶🏽 The story stayed true to the original movie w/ uttermost flattery to the all characters as you remembered them The cast chosen both young & adult versions were breathtaking to watch :) Out of all the Studio Ghibli films to get a live action I’m so happy it was whisper of the heart b/c it isn’t a westernized Lovie Dovie romance but a satisfying episodic tale of individual self growth w/ innocence of finding love in the process of living a dream driven life (//_^) Now for my unbiased opinion of the film it's a very captivating story, cute characters, rich imaginative scenes, delightful performances and a heartfelt message!! Giving it a solid 10/10..!!🙌🏾😁 P.s Fingers crossed that they'll make more live action adaptation films from the other iconic Studio Ghibli masterpieces! :) See more Bret M. @BretM-3 6h HOLY MOLY!! I had no idea that any of the Studio Ghibli movies connected! I’ve been doing a Studio Ghibli run and I finally got to Whisper of the Heart and was astounded with the references to other Studio Ghibli movies, especially The Cat Returns (which is special to me as it was the first Studio Ghibli movie I ever watched). The story itself is almost too normal for Studio Ghibli though, much like From Up on Poppy Hill. When I pop on a Studio Ghibli movie, I expect it to be a little weird. But this movie stands apart as one of the more normal ones. It really is just a simple story of juvenile love (with some clever references to other Studio Ghibli movies sprinkled in). It’s a pretty good movie, but probably not one of my favorites. I do love the setup for The Cat Returns though! See more Read all reviews
