Summary: Satisfaction
Comment: Great Movie I am a big fan of the director I have most of the movies that he is involved in. My package got here very fast to
Customer Rating:
Summary: Another great one by Hayao
Comment: I really enjoyed this movie, as I do all of Hayao Miyazaki's films. It was cute and told a story of self-discovery that appeals to all. Very well done, and humurous in it's own right. I especially like the musical scene. Very cute.

Summary: Whispers of the Heart
Comment: Wow, another great film from Studio Ghibli. This is a wonderful story of a young girl who follows a cat and ends up following her dreams. A great story for all.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: 3.5 stars is more accurate; good but not spectacular
Comment: After seeing "The Cat Returns" I just had to see the inspiration behind that fantastic movie. I was prepared from reading previous reviews that "whisper of the Heart" would not be a fantasy laden tale. That being said, I must still say that I did enjoy it. I must also say that it is a bit slow. I think they could've cut out about 1 hour's worth of filler (numerous scenes of the girl just walking or the entire first portion of the movie that's nothing but her running errands) and still conveyed their message. Compared to other Studio Ghibli films this was just somewhat boring (most of their films are slow, but this was really slow). Also, I felt the choice of "Country Roads" as a theme song was very out of place in this film. As soon as you hear the words "Virginia and Mountain Mama" you start to wonder why they ever chose the song. I laughed everytime I heard it because it sounded so out of place in Tokyo. Other than that, the movie is a very touching coming of age story, although the ending was a bit unbelievable. Overall, it was worth watching at least once to see the origin of "The Cat Returns" and I'm glad I did. I do recommend seeing this at least once if you are a fan of Studio Ghibli or of "The Cat Returns".
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good, but lacks the overt magical charm of other Ghibli movies.
Comment: I don't know... this is a good movie, but a bit slow and
kiddy" for me. I love the dream sequences and Carey Elwes does a good job in the English dub, but this is no Spirited Away.

From the creators of the Academy Award(R)-winning SPIRITED AWAY (Best Animated Feature Film, 2002) comes a tale based on the screenplay from the legendary animator Hayao Miyazaki. During summer vacation, a schoolgirl named Shizuku, who longs to discover her true talents, observes an ordinary-looking cat riding by himself on the train. Intrigued, she decides to follow him. This chance encounter leads her to the mysterious Seiji, a boy who is determined to follow his dreams, and The Baron, a magical cat figurine who helps her listen to the whispers in her heart. Soon, Shizuku's exciting adventures carry her far beyond the boundaries of her imagination. Featuring extraordinary storytelling, enchanting animation, and an all-star voice cast, this 2-disc set will inspire dreams and warm hearts of all ages. (c) 1995 Aoi Hiiragi/Shueisha • Nibariki • GNH
