This movie was really beautiful and I'll understand why people at this movie is terrible. I love the plot and the characters are so great. (Miyazaki's son is just brilliant!)
has anyone else watched this movie and had no idea what the hell happened at the end? I liked it, don't get me wrong, but I got a distinctly Eragon-ish vibe.
Many people seem to dislike this film, I rather enjoyed it its worth the watch not the best,but id defiantly not say its the worst film they have done.
Well from what I understand it's pronounced both 'Geh-heh-blie' and 'Geh-blie'. 'Geh-Heh-blie' doesn't seem right to me [but I've heard it said that way by many people...] so my best guess would be 'Geh-blie'.
@TommittajaFIN The Italian word Miyazaki got the name from is pronounced "Gib-lee", but he made a mistake, but he decided to keep it anyway, so the company goes by "Jib-lee". c:
thought so too. you can't really go wrong with ghibli.. ever. after those two.. 10 more ghibli movies and i've seen them all ^^ (well i counted in the 2013 and 2011 ones too)
My brother is 10 and he is going through that phase where he is afraid of dying. When I saw this movie I it fell in love with it, I'm going to show it to my brother. I think it explains beautifully the life of humans and why it is death has to come.
"Listen to me Arren. No man nor any living thing in this world preserves its life forever. But only to men is it given to know that we must die and that is a precious gift. This life which is both our torment and treasure was never meant to endure for eternity. Life is a wave in the sea. Would you force the entire sea to become still to save one wave? To save yourself?"
Quoting LeGuin from her website "Very few authors have any control over the use made of their books by a film studio. The general rule is that once the contract is signed, the author of the books is nonexistent. Such labels as "creative consultant" are meaningless. Please do not hold any writer except the script-writer responsible for anything in a film. Don't ask the book's author "Why did they . . . ?" She is wondering too."
There is very little of the books left in the movie.
@brianahn0331 I herd it one "worst movie of the year" in Japan, but then again I also saw Howls moving castle was nominated the year that was relised :/
Personally I like the film, the plots mah but the animation more than makes up for it 8D
@thebigj3 omg i saw tht too! i was shitting bricks. i thought they were too cruel
but i wasnt to amazed from this movie. im sure it had negative reviews because it was away from the book. i thought it lacked some plots and character. but i was still amazed from the art!
@thebigj3 What?! I love Howl's Moving Castle and I never heard of anyone who hated the movie! How could that one be nominated for "Worst Movie of the year?!" I never saw Tales of Earthsea, but I really want to, so I can't say much for it.

Search for: "La Colline aux Coquelicots" in YouTube for the new Studio Ghibli film coming out, it's real title is "From Kokuriko Hill ", it's just the French have a really good trailer out for it.
Wow. You guys do know many film studios distribute films for other studios all the time right? Whether it's because of being in foreign markets or a larger company distributing for a smaller company. And the dub is there for those who prefer hearing it in their own language yes, as well as, for the children but home copies also provide the original Japanese voice acting for you. Your whining is pointless.
@Sanimangas The dubbing is very good especially compared to earlier movies! When I saw Ponyo in theaters they did a beautiful job with dubbing. Even if the dubbing was horrible (like it was in the movie Gantz) I would still love it. Yes their movies will always be better in Japanese but these movies attract a lot of young children and they need to be in english so kids can understand. Also not all Americans think we are the best at everything cuz I definately know we aren't.
I don't give a fuck about whether the dubs are shitty or not, I love studio ghibli films either way, i've been watching them since I was young and I still watch them now.
@Sanimangas dude you're an idiot, i'm not even going to bother repeating what mogumogumagic said, just look at the most liked comment, it's there for a reason
@Sanimangas 1. yes i do love a lot of disney movies, 2. why wouldn't you want to find a well known and liked distributor if you wanted to sell your product in a foreign market? it's not like they wrote disney on some duck tape and put it over the studio ghibli logo.
Have you ever compared disney dubs? There are so horrible in every way. If I was Miyazaki, I wouldn't want my hard work to get fucked up. It's also the fault of American society, thinking that everything we do is the best and we have such biased opinions that we wouldn't care for other cultural movies like Miyazaki. And their lack of literacy, refusing to watch subs, or even read a book. Only reasons Ghibli chose disney.
@Sanimangas either way im not gonna bother arguing with you you're clearly the type of person if i gave you irrefutable proof you would still think you're right

This movie is amazing. So full of emotion.. and the animations and screenplay are just breathtaking ...I almost cried at the part where Therru sang her song ..
As a huge fan of both Studio Ghibli and the Earthsea book series (by Ursula K LeGuin in case you want to read them) this was so disappointing in so many ways. I was so excited for them to have made a movie about the books I loved, but this is nothing like them, and wasnt good on its own either. :(
@RawrStyle0: The series was created and produced by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, who served as executive producers along with Aaron Ehasz. Avatar is set in an Asian-influenced world wherein some are able to manipulate the classical elements by use of Chinese martial arts. The show combined the styles of anime and American cartoons, and relied for imagery upon various East-Asian, Inuit, and South-American societies, with a brief reference to the Indic. Avatar wasn't an anime.
@RawrStyle0: The Avatar series is actually a venture between both the US and Korea I believe I have the collectors addition of the first box set. They wanted it to look anime like so they got some help. The story is made by the US though proving there are still good cartoon here.
I'm SO happy that this film can FINALLY be available in the US now! Can't wait to get it and watch it again (I watched the entire film, or most of it, at least, on Youtube a few years ago. It was dubbed in English, but wasn't available in the US at the time but in the UK instead).
Want something that's actually heartwarming instead of this movie. Read about the story about Hayao's and Goro's rift behind the movie and what happened after the movie was released. Japan tore that movie apart. Hayao and his son didn't have a great relationship before and during its production. Even Hayao was skeptical of Goro's abilities. Hayao unexpectantly came to see his son's movie and wrote to his son "I liked it." And Goro cried.
@hobocan22 But Goro never did live up to our expectations. Maybe Goro didn't live up to Hayao's expectations in a way. Hayao probably just wanted his son to know that he was proud of Goro nonetheless. Writing Ponyo was Hayao's way of saying "I love you, my son, please forgive me."
@project0omega Wasn't really trying to sound superior for I do respect Goro's dedication, but the story can be found in Goro's Blog on nausicaa.net, in the Prologue of the blog and the reference to Hayao's reaction to Goro's film is found on Page 112.
@AliaSparrow I thought this was the worst Studio Ghibli movie ever made. The books may have been good. Perhaps if it was made into a miniseries or something it could have been much better.
@WlNDMlLL As far as the Ghibli's movie I've ever seen, it is the weakest to me (I never even read the books). It's does seem to have an intriguing plot at the start but it slows down and there are really contrived moments that attempts to bring wonder.
@AliaSparrow I agree completely. I also felt that the dialogue and English acting was sub-par. Especially when you compare it to movies like Howl's Moving Castle. The caste in that movie was INCREDIBLE. Though, now that I think about it, pretty much every Studio Ghibli film I've ever seen has had at least one Grade-A actor. At least one. Besides this one, of course!
@zeldamistoffelees ok. actually i just found out that i watched it in france when i was really little... i guess ill just watch it again. oh and this is graffiti alchemyst, but im using a different account.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! gah!!! Thought there might not be many more films from Studio Ghibli. So glad Goro is following in his father's footsteps. This looks great :D Is this based on the books by Ursula Le Guin?
@pokeclaudel ha glad i wasnt the only one. i thought ut was gonna be about a cool battle between dragons and swords and stuff. but its mostly about the kid complaing and being a coward and ends up being a farmer.
@GraffitiAlchemyst I don't know what pokeclaudel found so boring about the movie but I guess I'll throw my two cents in.
Personally I loved the movie, though I will say it is a bit slow. However if you can get through it all the way once I'm sure you'll like it. It is really a beautiful and amazing movie. :) I hope you give it a chance, for me it was life changing.
people listen up! ponyo, spirited away, and this film was distributed by Disney, which means they have also contributed in letting people know how wonderful Japanese work is, especially if its made of Hayao Miyazaki, and this is through translating it in a language people understands. right? so pls dont get mad of placing disney's name in the movie after all they deserve it. if you were to make a movie i guess you would also want your name to be placed right? Hayao,agreed on this. why can't u?
Man. This movie is already below average for a Ghibli production (though I still like it). This cheesy trailer makes it look worse than it is. I mean, come on: "Tales... from Earthsea!" "Share the adventures... of a powerful wizard... and a young prince... as they journey... on an epic adventuurre." Urgh.
I honestly think this was the worst Studio Ghibli film. I'm a huge fan of Studio Ghibli and I was really excited to watch this when it came on tv. This was a big disappointment. It's easy to tell when Hayao Miyazaki directs, and when his son directs. The story was all over the place, went extremely slow, and was really a snooze fest.
@SakuraXAngelXorXnot Stop hating, sure alot of details were missing (was kinda lost in alot of the stuff) but that shit was pretty crazy; This movie was the shit.
*sigh* i had hopes for this movie, ive watched it twice and both times i get disappointed. i mean... it's okay. there is just too much subject matter and not enough explanation... his father did sort of the same thing in howl's moving castle, but it was done better, with more sense and i love that movie. but with this one, it was just all over the place and everything is sort of made to be cool and mysterious but it just comes off as lame...
I'm very disappointed with Disney, they put their name his films it to make it look like its their movie, but in fact they only translated it. in my opinion(and in opinion to many i know) Disney should not have their name anywhere on the front cover of Miyazaki's works.
@GeekNiNj4 dude Disney's its own mafia. they've done a lot of stuff they shouldn't be doing and have taken over a lot of things, they even have their own manga in Japan it's crazy
@GeekNiNj4 actually its disney that keeps ghibli up and running. ghibli gave news last year or so that if their movies do not appeal more on american viewers they will close heir doors and make no more movies, but he fact that disney has once again adapted "The borrower arietty" means that they will continue making more movies so be thankful of disney because for them, we will enjoy more of studio ghibli films
...even Funimation puts their names in the beginning of trailers. I don't mind, I'm just grateful they(Disney) don't make any changes to the actual film when they bring it over to the US.
@GeekNiNj4 Think about it this way, Disney is doing all of the translating of the script, the dubbing, and they have to release it as a region 1 DVD so it can be played on American dvd players, so I think it's ok for them to say "disney presents a Goro miyazaki/studio ghibli film"

I'm SO happy that this film can FINALLY be available in the US now! Can't wait to get it and watch it again (I watched the entire film, or most of it, at least, on Youtube a few years ago. It was dubbed in English, but wasn't available in the US at the time but in the UK instead).

Want something that's actually heartwarming instead of this movie. Read about the story about Hayao's and Goro's rift behind the movie and what happened after the movie was released. Japan tore that movie apart. Hayao and his son didn't have a great relationship before and during its production. Even Hayao was skeptical of Goro's abilities. Hayao unexpectantly came to see his son's movie and wrote to his son "I liked it." And Goro cried.

@AliaSparrow Oh yeah, then Hayao poured his heart out to create Ponyo. Just to apologize for his son.

hobocan22 2 months ago
@hobocan22 But Goro never did live up to our expectations. Maybe Goro didn't live up to Hayao's expectations in a way. Hayao probably just wanted his son to know that he was proud of Goro nonetheless. Writing Ponyo was Hayao's way of saying "I love you, my son, please forgive me."

@project0omega Wasn't really trying to sound superior for I do respect Goro's dedication, but the story can be found in Goro's Blog on nausicaa.net, in the Prologue of the blog and the reference to Hayao's reaction to Goro's film is found on Page 112.

@AliaSparrow I do have to revise my comment a little, Hayao wrote "It was made honestly. It was good."
And Hayao moved on to make Ponyo for his son.

@AliaSparrow I thought this was the worst Studio Ghibli movie ever made. The books may have been good. Perhaps if it was made into a miniseries or something it could have been much better.
WlNDMlLL 1 month ago
@WlNDMlLL As far as the Ghibli's movie I've ever seen, it is the weakest to me (I never even read the books). It's does seem to have an intriguing plot at the start but it slows down and there are really contrived moments that attempts to bring wonder.
AliaSparrow 1 month ago
@AliaSparrow I agree completely. I also felt that the dialogue and English acting was sub-par. Especially when you compare it to movies like Howl's Moving Castle. The caste in that movie was INCREDIBLE. Though, now that I think about it, pretty much every Studio Ghibli film I've ever seen has had at least one Grade-A actor. At least one. Besides this one, of course!

How to get top comment for this video:
1) Spaz out about how awesome Studio Ghibli/Hayao Miyazaki/etc. is.
2) Rant about Disney sinking its corporate claws into a beautiful piece of work.
3) Complain about how boring the movie is and/or how Miyazaki's son shouldn't have made it.
4) Argue with people about their opinion.

Personally I loved the movie, though I will say it is a bit slow. However if you can get through it all the way once I'm sure you'll like it. It is really a beautiful and amazing movie. :) I hope you give it a chance, for me it was life changing.

people listen up! ponyo, spirited away, and this film was distributed by Disney, which means they have also contributed in letting people know how wonderful Japanese work is, especially if its made of Hayao Miyazaki, and this is through translating it in a language people understands. right? so pls dont get mad of placing disney's name in the movie after all they deserve it. if you were to make a movie i guess you would also want your name to be placed right? Hayao,agreed on this. why can't u?

Man. This movie is already below average for a Ghibli production (though I still like it). This cheesy trailer makes it look worse than it is. I mean, come on: "Tales... from Earthsea!" "Share the adventures... of a powerful wizard... and a young prince... as they journey... on an epic adventuurre." Urgh.

I honestly think this was the worst Studio Ghibli film. I'm a huge fan of Studio Ghibli and I was really excited to watch this when it came on tv. This was a big disappointment. It's easy to tell when Hayao Miyazaki directs, and when his son directs. The story was all over the place, went extremely slow, and was really a snooze fest.

*sigh* i had hopes for this movie, ive watched it twice and both times i get disappointed. i mean... it's okay. there is just too much subject matter and not enough explanation... his father did sort of the same thing in howl's moving castle, but it was done better, with more sense and i love that movie. but with this one, it was just all over the place and everything is sort of made to be cool and mysterious but it just comes off as lame...

I'm very disappointed with Disney, they put their name his films it to make it look like its their movie, but in fact they only translated it. in my opinion(and in opinion to many i know) Disney should not have their name anywhere on the front cover of Miyazaki's works.

@GeekNiNj4 actually its disney that keeps ghibli up and running. ghibli gave news last year or so that if their movies do not appeal more on american viewers they will close heir doors and make no more movies, but he fact that disney has once again adapted "The borrower arietty" means that they will continue making more movies so be thankful of disney because for them, we will enjoy more of studio ghibli films

@GeekNiNj4 Think about it this way, Disney is doing all of the translating of the script, the dubbing, and they have to release it as a region 1 DVD so it can be played on American dvd players, so I think it's ok for them to say "disney presents a Goro miyazaki/studio ghibli film"
