Another wonderfull Miyazaki film, I loved it! It was so sweet with the opening song of Take Me home, Country Roads in English and ending credits with Take Me Home Country Roads in Japanese. The Baron and Baroness were awesome and I hope Seji and Shizuko get married they were soulmates. I didn't really like Seji in the beginning but he sort of grew on me. The movie was good but it felt a bit long. Even though the movie was made in the 90's it felt like I was really in Tokyo, Japan, everything was so detailed, it was amazing! I couldn't believe Ashley Tisdale voiced Yuko in the English dub, it's kind of hard to believe. I wish I had seen it in Japanese.

Not your typical Studio Ghibli movie but inspirational nonetheless, this slow paced drama had an incredibly grounded and has a slow paced live-action style to it. Its not for everyone and it may not be a easy sell if your not in the mood for it but Whisper of the Heart is a very dear and personal movie that's also very innocent. It also has a lot of John Denver in it surprisingly...

It was kinda hokey and the ending was, like, ridiculous, but it was still really good! Studio Ghibli is a lot like Pixar.. some films are better than others, but it's nearly impossible for them to create anything disappointing.

A Studio Ghibli film.
And everything I love with anime and Ghibli was there, all true Studio Ghibli fans will love this. Believe me. -

What a charming film.
Studio Ghibli work never fails to blow me away. This finely sewn art tells a story of a young inspired girl, a boy, a cat, a grandfather and a beautiful ornate figure named Barron.
Shizuka is a strong minded jnr. high school student who stumbles into love when looking elsewhere. She is out running chores then meets a cat on a train -known as 'Moon' or 'Mutah'- who leads her to an Antique shop where she finds an inspiration so deep it leads her to write a story straight from the heart.
Definately worth falling in love with, the characters are distinct and strong.
The final scene is REALLY cute.

This heartwarming tale was filled with things most people worry about. It was well made without all the elements most romances require these days. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.

Just saw this movie not too long ago. a bit different than Miyazaki's other films, but still a watcher. i liked the Country Roads song in this one. Even tho it was different it was still a good movie to watch!

Excellent animated coming of age movie. The film centers on Shizuki, a teenager growing up in Japan.
Normally these types of films tend to bore me, but Whisper of the Heart does such a good job of making the characters true to life that most people should have no trouble identifying with them.
Beautifully detailed animation, a great score, and a charming, heartfelt story. -

A young friend of mine recommended this to me - and it was indeed a sweet story with the wonderful Miyazaki Studio animation.

Somewhat underrated, this movie easily rivals Miyazaki and Takahata's best works. The excellence of this movie makes me lament director Yoshifumi Kondo's untimely departure to the Wonderful Animation Studio in the Sky as one can only wonder what other masterpieces he could had created had he lived . He is supposed to be Miyazaki's successor as the head of Studio Ghibli and his untimely demise altered the future of the studio as Miyazaki was forced to cancel his retirement plans. The characters are very interesting and beautiful imageries abound as one would expect from a Ghibli movie. I am particularly impressed by the the dream sequence based on Naohisa Inoue's fantastic surreal paintings. The inclusion of John Denver's "Country Road" (Later on cynically altered to "Concrete Road",reflecting Miyazaki's environmental concerns) seems a bit a bit strange as it doesn't seem to sync all that well with the rest of the movie, but that's just a very minor gripe.

not a fantastic story like what we're used to from studio ghibli but still a wonderful piece giving us a view on a young girl's life and her love for writing. i thought it was moving and the song "concrete road" is awesome, whether it's in english or in japanese.

It's almost odd for a Ghibli movie to be set in such a conventional setting, but the character portrayal is faultless.

Whisper of the Heart fait exception à sa catégorie, dans la mesure où il se démarque grandement des autres anime japonais.
Même si ce n'est pas lui qui l'a réalisé, Hayao Miyazaki me surprend réellement avec un tel script puisque, probablement pour la première fois de sa carrière en terme de long-métrages, il met en scène Shizuku Tsukishima, une étudiante au lycée, dans un univers entièrement réaliste. Si réaliste qu'il m'épate réellement, puisque plusieurs petits gestes journaliers y sont reproduits de tel sorte à ce que la routine laisse la place à la magie du quotidien.
Il existe, en fait, une petite partie du film qui soit merveilleuse, comme dans les autres scénarios, mais il s'agit de si peu et elle est si mauvaise (oui, oui, c'est le merveilleux qui est le moins bon dans ce film) qu'on l'oublie rapidement et qu'on se concentre vite sur Shizuku et la façon dont elle s'occupe d'un hexagone amoureux.
Décidemment, un sacré bon dessin-animé qui relate les péripéties de l'adolescence, digne d'être écouté par nos enfants et par nos petits-enfants. -

Miyazaki a bien écrit. Kondo a très bien réalisé. Ainsi l'ensemble de l'oeuvre est charmant. Un peu "adolescent" ça aurait presque pu devenir un film "réel" de genre drame romantique. J'ai trouvé les couleurs, le système d'animation très différent de Miyazaki et cela m'a bien plu. Un film qui nous donne tous envie de réalisé nos rêves de jeunesse et de ne pas s'en faire avec le temps.

Great movie. Interesting story about growing up and deciding what to do with your life. Very romantic. Great characters, especially Shizuku. The background animation is amazing and creates a very "real" atmosphere. My favorite movie.
-
MCT:January 3, 2008It's a good watchable film. But not as good as some of the other films. Storyline is abit drawn out.

Studio Ghibli really does know how to deliver sophisticated animated films. This film in particular strays from their more fantasy films but it is very romantic and sweet. Terrific story about high school romance and following a dream.
