I'll admit that Disney doesn't exactly have as positive a reputation as, say, Pixar nowadays...<BR/><BR/>I've heard that Howl's Moving Castle isn't exactly the best of Miyazaki's works... but I'd still like to see how the book translates to the screen. I suppose that the worst it can probably do is bore me, and I'm fairly sure that it won't do that. :)Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300224368246428017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307761.post-78713280283190296522008-06-28T23:50:00.000+08:002008-06-28T23:50:00.000+08:00Maybe Disney isn't as well-loved as we all think? ...Maybe Disney isn't as well-loved as we all think? *shrugs*<BR/><BR/>Re your question on Howl's Moving Castle, how they were able to pull off the combination of Japanese animation and Western literature? I think I have an answer to that: By using great great great musical scoring. :D<BR/><BR/>Honestly though, Howl's Moving Castle for me, was not the best Hayao Miyazaki film. And if you have read the original material, then you <I>might</I> be slightly disappointed. The story seemed too rushed, even if you know it's supposed to be short. But, I'm not saying it's not worth your time. If you save it for last on your marathon, the nostalgia for the other Hayao Miyazaki films is enough to keep you entertained. (Oh, and of course the music!) Or at least it was for me. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307761.post-60671769023880820242008-06-27T17:51:00.000+08:002008-06-27T17:51:00.000+08:00Hmm...

Something's seriously wrong with the world. :)<BR/><BR/>Ida: Yahoo! didn't include any criteria beyond the fact that they were looking at animated films, so I guess that the list wasn't exclusive to movies aimed at a younger audience. The inclusion of <I>Enchanted</I> still stymies me, though; I won't deny that it's charming, but I will argue to the ends of the earth that <I>it's not an animated film</I>.<BR/><BR/>And actually, I look forward to seeing <I>Howl's Moving Castle</I>. It's one of the relatively few pieces of Japanese animation based off a contemporary Western work, and I'm curious as to how they pulled off the unlikely combination.<BR/><BR/>Elmer: I assume, of course, that you're a real live walking, talking, breathing person, despite the copy-and-paste comment. So... welcome to the blog. Feel free to have a look around.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately with regards to your offer, I have certain standards in place. Back when I first started this blog, I decided to avoid the vast majority of the Internet's scatterings -- and this is the reason why you don't see any banner ads, medallions or even blogrolls anywhere here. I don't make money off this blog as a result, and I don't have any plans of doing so in the near future. So with no disrespect to you or your company, I'm afraid that I must pass.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300224368246428017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307761.post-59443424852821976292008-06-27T14:38:00.000+08:002008-06-27T14:38:00.000+08:00Hi,I'm Elmer and I work at pacificadvance.com, a c...Hi,<BR/><BR/>I'm Elmer and I work at pacificadvance.com, a company interested in blog advertizing.

Because if they included "child-friendliness" in it, then I think they should seriously reconsider Shrek and The Simpsons. Those movies were <I>not</I> for kids. -_-<BR/><BR/>Oh and you should <I>definitely</I> schedule a Hayao Miyazaki / Studio Ghibli marathon. :) Re Howl's Moving Castle though, don't mind the people who prefer the book. People normally prefer the books because they can't quite accept that books and movies are two different mediums and that <I>naturally</I> there would be differences in the way the stories are told. Er, okay wait, sorry. That's a generalization I shouldn't be talking about here. :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
