Spirited Away!! A new miyazaki film ... trailer link inside

[soccerbud34]

Wow, how come i have not heard that Miyazaki produced a new film?

Just saw the trailer and it looks pretty cool.

For those of you that are not farmiliar with Miyazaki, he produced anime master pieces such as Totoro, Kiki's Delivery service, Princess Mononoke etc.

 

[SerraYX]

Watched it earlier.. Doesn't look as interesting as Mononoke

 

[soccerbud34]

apparently it was released Japan last yr or so, gonna go search for fan subs

 

[diskop]

Dude, WATCH THIS! I'm not kidding. If you like anime at all this is an AWESOME movie. I saw it at the SF Film Festival this spring, and man was it good. A couple of the people who made it showed up and gave a speech. The audience BOOed when Disney's name was mentioned Pretty darn funny.

 

[poopaskoopa]

Nice. I'm such a sucker for Miyazaki's movies.

It was actually released in Japan in 2001, but translation and dubbing for American audiences took until earlier this year. In general, I eschew dubbing, but the care and translation for the American dub of Mononoke Hime (Princess Mononoke) was just about flawless. That the work was overseen by John Lasseter gives me a lot of confidence that similar care was taken this time.

I watched the trailer a few times this morning, and the visuals are stunning.

Wow is right, I didn't realize that Miyazaki had a new film. Anyways, it's finally out today and it's showing at the El Capitan in Los Angeles. Looks like a great movie!

Edit: Spelling

They are showing subbed version at El Capitan. Only on Thursday and Sunday, 7pm.

I rented it on DVD few weeks ago, it was intersting, definetly different and basicly just weird. Not sure what age group its aimed at because the theme and the characgers are aimed at kids while the story is too deep to be for kids, but all the same it was fun to watch.

[LordJezo]

I saw the Japenese version of this movie about a month ago.

It was amazing.

I say anyone who likes animated movies should go see this movie as soon as it comes out.

Now I just need to find a theater in PA that shows it

 

[SaltBoy]

Usenet is my friend! I can't wait to see it in the theaters, though. Hope I can convince my wife to see it.

www.nausicaa.net has a (complete?) listing of theatres. I'm going to be vewwy vewwy angwy if this acts like Princess Mononoke and I have to wait two months before it gets around to my neighborhood.

 

[cjchaps]

I just saw this movie in downtown Chicago. It was good, but it wasn't great. I liked Mononoke a lot more. It's still a good flick though.

 

[Tavis]

I liked Mononoke more as well, but this is definitely a movie you don't want to miss. Very entertaining and VERY weird.

 

[z0mb13]

I just watched this movie and all I can say is WOWW!!!!!

it is very good, all the other disney movies suk big time compared to this one....

also I stumbled upon this link that explains the true purpose of the director of the film (mizayaki)

 

[PrincessGuard]

It's a great movie. I enjoyed it more than Mononoke since it is far less pretentious but it felt a bit rushed.

The DVD is available overseas.

 

[Orsorum]

Tried to d/l it, but Kazaa hasn't been working too well on my campus lately. It still looks like an awesome movie.
