Awesome
I first saw this movie back in 1994 or so and I've loved it ever since. It has an amazing storyline, characters, animation and music.
This one is an older movie done by Miyazaki done in the late 80's (I believe), however it is still of utmost quality as any Studo Ghibli/Hayao Miyazaki production is.
One thing I found a little disappointing is that Disney seemed to opt for "Dubtitles" here. When I was watching this with my friend, we had the subtitles on..since I am fluent in the language I found that many of the subtitles being displayed on-screen were not quite what was being said. I noticed this in the other two releases of late (Porco Rosso and the Cat Returns).
I think the subtitles were based on the re-written dub.
However, despite that it's still a great release. It looks and sounds great. I'm very happy to see this movie finally released properly (Despite the little subtitle issue).
Anyone remember "Warriors of the Wind"? *Shudder*
Also I must recommend you to the manga (released in 4 parts by VIZ in North America) which was penned by Hayao Miyazaki himself and he spent the good part of 13 years creating it.
It is a lot more involved and descriptive than the movie is..it will fill in a *lot* of the story that the movie skipped over.
Reading the manga after watching the movie will make you appreciate the movie that much more.
