"Final film of Miyazaki"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Miyazaki's last film is about the fantasy of flying. The historical background reinforces the theme of the necessity to have the dream, even if it all turns to ashes.

"Final Miyazaki film"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Just like the rest of the Studio Ghibli films, this one is purely hand-drawn animation, with added spectacular colour palette & visual backdrops as well.

A must have for Studio Ghibli fans!

Another great Ghibli Movie!
