I went to go see this movie with my sister yesterday, and it was fantastic. I mean, beyond the fantastic worlds that Miyazaki comes up with, the writing was great. There's great character development, great humor, stunning orchestral score, and an amazing cast. Liam Neeson, Cate Blanchett, Tina Fey, and many others make this an instant classic. Miyazaki has done it again! lol I should write reviews for Rolling Stone, I've got the prerequisite vocabulary already.
For when you guys go see it, I'll tell you my favorite scene: From when the well opens and all the golden fish come bursting out of the ocean, just let yourself go. Become immersed in the music, and just take it all in. It's the most amazing scene from a movie I've seen in a very, very long time. It's a truly fantastic movie.
And then you get to the end credits, with the younger siblings of some famous disney music stars singing the most counterproductive song they could come up with, as if the whole point of the end credits was to make everyone forget about how good the rest of the movie was. Don't stay for the credits, folks, or you'll leave with a rather disappointed look on your face.
