Hayao Miyazaki's (宮崎 駿) latest work - Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea (崖の上のポニョ) is a must-watch! Suitable for all ages =) This is the first time for a looong while I went on a movie outing with my brother and it was fun! So it was not as long as his other works but still full of innocent wonder and finely crafted animation.
Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea 崖の上のポニョ
I always enjoy Hayao Miyazaki's animations. The detailed and bright drawings enchant me and the story always seem so meaningful. My favourites are all here!
Spirited Away 千と千尋
I was amazed at my first sight of Haku, something about him just seemed so cool, then I realized it was the subtle way his eyes were drawn from other characters that gave him the distinction. Well, his true form is a dragon, which are river spirits in the movie lol
Princess Mononoke もののけ姫
nice MV by a fan but I think I'd prefer if the words were in Japanese, which would sound more natural and hmm, some things are better felt than said.
Kiki's Delivery Service 魔女の宅急便
I like the upbeat song!
Howl's Moving Castle ハウルの動く城
Too bad I could not find the scene of Howl, a vain foppish wizard, melting into a puddle of goo when he was devastated at his hair turning from blond to black due to Sophie's meddling. This movie was inspired by Diana Wynne Jones, who penned the Chrestomanci series, one of my favourite reads.
Whisper of the Heart 耳をすませば
This movie is nostalgic and littered with references to his other works, so watching it was like recalling all his other much-loved movies. (The sunrise was beautifully drawn)
...and of course, the signature work
My Neighbour Totoro となりのトトロ
