    Takahata, like Miyazaki, can do no wrong in my eyes. Made before the legend of Ghibli, this movie still shines with everything we've come to expect from the greatest anime studio in the world - lovable characters, a gripping storyline, and tons of Takahata magic.

    It shows it's age now, but it still shows the promise of what was yet to come from Studio Ghibli in regards to story telling.

    Refreshing change of location for Ghibli...if it is Ghibli cos im not quite sure. The girl's singing is haunting, actully she is quite creepy altogether but apart from that a nice film for the family
