unlabelledView post →The Tale of the Princess Kaguya... I'd heard about Studio Ghibli through some friends in high school (I didn't have internet LOL) and found this movie in a bargain bin. I think both the art style of the movie and the tone has influenced my work a lot.

(Note for those who didn't know: this is a Studio Ghibli film but by Isao Takahata, not Hayao Miyazaki. And the SOUL on display is precisely what "AI Ghibli "art"" 100% lacks.)

A good # of the Disney/Pixars were deserving but there's no way Big Hero 6 is a better movie than How To Train 2, Song of the Sea, and *megaphone* THE TALE OF THE PRINCESS KAGUYA.

unlabelledView post →My favourite Ghibli film isn't one of Miyazaki's - THE TALE OF THE PRINCESS KAGUYA was Isao Takahata's last film, and it remains not only fantastically beautiful I can't get out of my head how it embodies the bitter-sweet rapture and melancholy of the oldest school folk tales.
