An organic, childlike wonder, fabulously unpredictable and seethingly inventive.

You run across animation this ingenious about as often as a moving castle comes your way.

Entertainment Weekly
The worldview, the sense of childlike fun shaded with adult melancholy, and the joyful, serene attention to visual oddity and wordless beauty could only be made in Japan. And, specifically, made by Hayao Miyazaki.

The perfect e-ticket for a flight of fancy into a world far more gorgeous than our own. The film doesn't halve itself to appeal to two generations. At its best, it turns all moviegoers into innocent kids, slack-jawed with wonder.

Another soulful gem from the peerless Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki.
