Such an innocent, magical, sweet story set in rural Japan, it’s such a sweet movie that, even though I have this movie in my DVD library at home, I’m willing to buy a ticket to watch the movie in a theater with other Miyazaki fans. The voice-over work by the two young girls, in the English dub, is expertly done by the Fanning sisters, Elle and Dakota, when Elle was very young. The film is a much needed break from all of the noise and selfishness in the world and media at the moment. Do yourself a favor and spend an afternoon or evening with this film, preferably with friends and family you love. Enjoy.
