    This is the highlight of my short-lived Nippon life. To be in a tiny, Ghibli-adorned, cinema in Mitaka watching this was magical. The audio track is a single man making all the noises with his mouth. While its whimsy is warming, Miyazaki never forgets about the horror of the minute. No spoilers, but easily the scariest wasp I have ever seen was in this film. Yes, Matthew Arnold, this literally has both sweetness and light,

    2.5 good performances here and one of them isn’t Pedro.

    For reasons external to the actual movie, this is probably my greatest moviegoing experience.
