Word. Watched a raw version of this a couple months ago - excellent stuff. I hope this gets the wide release it deserves ... might even be a better work than Mononoke Hime.
Funny, I just saw this movie last night and was wondering if there was a thread. Great movie, even if the plot feels like it was an afterthought. Some fun side characters (my wife and I both loved the mouse / fly combo and the living soot), beautiful animation, really enthralling. Go see it.
Wow. Just saw it last night and its great. So many cool characters and of course the animation is top notch. Great film.
This has been at the big theater close to me for a few weeks now and I keep meaning to see it but didn't have the time. Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to.
The new yorker describes the "mom" as a "bobble headed grandma on speed" My 8 year old likes to come in and say, "if you don't play with me, I'll cry, and If I cry, my mother will come in here and kill you". My wife isn't amused... It's interesting that here in Dallas there seemed to be no attempt to market it to kids. I think it would scare many of them, but the young one's who have seen it seem to like it okay.
