In terms of story, which is kept very small and also plays a lot around a household, it is typical Ghibli and at times there are small fine pieces in it. But this movie lacks the enchantment of the other movies. I suspect because of the computer animation which simply brings less magic. Other than that, I found this visually gravely ugly at times. The story itself is therefore not interesting enough to at least give the film a pass. 2.5*

The movie looks like Dreamworks and Studio Ghibli made a movie together and had to make so many compromises at the drawing board that they both lose. But in the end it is a Studio Ghibli film itself. The studio that unpacks every film with the necessary charm and a somewhat quirky drawing style that has more to offer than most Disney vehicles. There isn't much strong animation consisting of 3D and CGI anyway and here too you miss the necessary atmosphere. It becomes quite distant and that is a pity, especially with a Ghibli. The bar is already a bit higher, so it's too painful to see this.

On the other hand, the film does have a nice story and you occasionally see a flare-up of Ghibli with fragments that are nicely done. Unfortunately they are too rare. Wondering if this film will stand the test of time just like the rest, if it hasn't already fallen into oblivion. And Ghibli has to pull himself together with the next film.
