Studio Ghibli (and most anime in general) has long been a blind spot for me. I almost feel like I’m spoiling myself in watching this one to get acquainted with the niche, but man was it ever impressive! So much creativity in the visuals and storytelling, right from the title card. I’m talking jaw dropping beauty on the big screen. Fantastic score as well! It ascends and swells at all the right moments.
Watched at the Scotiabank Theatre in downtown Vancouver. Limited theatrical run in IMAX. I’ve never seen an IMAX theatre this packed before; even the first rows were full. Probably speaks to just how passionate of a fanbase these movies have cultivated, and I’m sure it meant the world to these moviegoers to see a childhood favourite find new life in such a powerful format.
