Mini-Review: Incredibly original, surreal and endearing but defies its outward impressions by not quite being the crowning Miyazaki piece that has been suggested. Presented through the heavy tint of childhood innocence throughout with some surprisingly intelligent and thought provoking moments between all the usual eccentricities. The child protagonists can get more than a little irritating at times, but subtle fantastical touches and delicate details of animation can easily recapture the viewers attention.
