I just don't get it? Am I missing something?? You would think I'd learn after wasting my time on Spirited Away. My friend loves all this Anime but I JUST DON'T GET IT!!

The book has a much better story, they've simplified and added big plot holes for the movie.

But the movie has absolutely gorgeous animation and it's a lot of fun seeing the characters come to life. The movie is well worth watching for the animations alone.

I love the book! The film however, is a bit too weird. I like it, but it could have been so much better if it would have actually followed the story, instead of taking random parts of the book and putting them together in a random order and out of context

I believe I've got the consensual opinion. Miyazaki creates a gorgeous an inventive world, full of surprises and whimsy, but the film stumbles in the last minutes as everything is magically resolved in a very short time span indeed, even the stuff you didn't know what a plot thread (the missing prince). It really feels like, oops, just ran out of time, everybody be happy, yay! It doesn't undo the preceding two hours, mind you, as the oddness and visuals create plenty of memorable moments and images. The film often seems more symbolic than anything and is rife for literary and psychological analysis. The girl who believes herself an ugly "unwanted" being turned into a crone, the bipolar wizard losing his humanity, the child apprenticed forced into premature adulthood... Of course, the whiny fire demon Calcifer kind of steals the show, but what can you do? He's adorable.

Any movie that can be watched 4 times in one weekend has to be really, really good! My first Miyazaki and my favorite, although they're all beautiful.

Unique story that appeals to all generations within a family. It's witty, fantastical, funny and moving (quite literally too!).

Everything combined in this film is amazingly stunning, the beautiful scenes with magic and the scenery really does make this a wonderful animated adventure. All in all, this is a must watch!

Hayao Miyazaki never ceases to amaze me! His movies are so full of warmth, amazing imagination and adventure, that watching them is like being a PART of a fairytale, and not only watching it. He is truly one of the greatest storytellers of our time.
