You going back through these reminds me of how fucking *consistently* good these are. I think the only ones I like less than most people are Princess and Howl's Castle, but that's more of a "not to my taste" than "bad."

Is there *any* creator with a higher hit rate than Miyazaki?

A little side-trivia: There are 2 English dubs for Arrietty as she's voiced by Saoirse Ronan in the UK release and Bridget Mendler in the US.

mc, I accidentally deleted your post. I'm truly sorry. Its only the 2nd time in site history I've done that.

For reference it was about how Spirited Away was the start of Disney doing A-listers for dubs in the 2000's.

I'm finding that out Gary. Previous to Gjiblapalooza I had seen maybe 3 or 4 of his films and now we are on the sixth movie, though Graveyard is not a Miyazaki film. All have been really fun, not counting Graveyard because that ain't fun at all.

Some are better than others but I haven't found one that's a stinker yet. And boy do I love his imaginative worlds. Both Castle in the Sky and Nausicaä have really genius settings.

Also, I should emphasize how mind blowingly cool it is when she rides on her glider. There is one scene where she emerges from a storm cloud fleeing from the Tolmekians and she is cruising as fast as she can with the cloud just to her right and then the warship emerges from the cloud behind her. That has got to be one of the most striking visuals I have seen in any animated feature.

I think the secret is that Miyazaki's animation really conveys a sense of speed in a totally believable way. Not like normal action sped up. This also struck me in Princess Mononoke when she and the Lady exchange sword/knife attacks.

The manga series is epic (I think there are about five volumes and the film takes you up to just before the end of the first volume) which is why I think the end of the film is so perfunctory. It's really worth seeking out (it kind of plays out like a Japanese version of Dune.)

2nd time only - I'm honoured!

And yes that was the gist.

You know how a couple comments back a couple guys recommended the original manga?

They weren't wrong. Haven't read a comic this good since maybe The Dark Knight. I have to consciously put it down so it won't be over too soon.

(I got a 2 volume hard cover collection for $35)

The manga really is a masterpiece.

All this talk of Ghibli got me watching this anniversary concert last night. It was really good.
