From Up On Poppy Hill - Movie Trailer

[MT/1080pHD] The latest trailer for "From Up On Poppy Hill" (AKA Kokuriko-zaka kara).
From up on Poppy Hill is a 2011 Japanese animated drama film directed by Gorō Miyazaki, written by Hayao Miyazaki and Keiko Niwa and produced by Studio Ghibli. The film is based on the manga series of the same name by Tetsuo Sayama and Chizuru Takahashi.

☆ PLOT ☆
The story is set in 1963 in Yokohama.
Kokuriko Manor sits on a hill overlooking the harbour. A 16 year-old girl, Umi, lives in that house. Every morning she raises a signal flag facing the sea. The flag means "I pray for safe voyages". A 17 year-old boy, Shun, always sees this flag from the sea as he rides a tugboat to school.
In preparation for next year's Tokyo Olympics, people are destroying the old and believing only in the magnificence of the new. In that time, at a high school in Yokohama, a small struggle occurred. The building of the Culture Club, nicknamed Quartier Latin, is old but full of history and memories. Should it be destroyed or preserved? In the middle of this, Umi and Shun meet. Shun appeals to the students who want to protect the building. Umi suggests a big clean up of the building to show its good parts.
Gradually the pair are drawn to each other but they are faced with a sudden trial. They may be siblings. Even so, they keep going without running from reality. Then, in the middle of the battle and the aftermath, they come to know how their parents met, loved and lived.

I loved this movie. Such an innocent love story and wonderful plotline about finding out who your true family is and how small the world really is. Very deep and heartfelt with great twists! My new favorite!

You mean this has been out 2 years already and ive only just found it!!! What have i been doing?!!

[Korflog666]

Bs. Please don't generalize every american animation just because art is expressed differently in different cultures. There are many animated series that come from japan and other countries which you preach so highly that aren't heart filled. Here are some that are just for money; Tenchi Muyo! Gxp, Bayblades series, and the Bakugan series. I'm sure there are more but these are the ones i found most prevalent as a grab for the cash bag. I watched tenchi muyo! gxp unbiased, but it was horrible.

I love these movies so much >w<

[William Chang]

This is easily one of Studio Ghibli's Best! I'm so impressed by the story, emotions created by the wonderful acting, and great direction. This is definitely one of my favorites, I can't believe I just found it!

[AnimeMangaGamerGal]

I miss traditional hand drawn animation. CGI (computer animation) is cool and all but I think more traditional animated films should show in movie theaters. It's almost as if traditional animation has died out in America. Go Japan!

I love it how bad or uninteresting the trailer was. But when you watch the movie even in the very first seconds you'll get hooked up and all those expensive and famous movies like Twilight and Harry Potter was then moved out to your favorites lists because of this movie. MIYAZAKI'S!!!! PLEASE MORE MOVIES TO COME!!! AND MORE AD TO INTRODUCE THESE KIND OF MOVIES TO THOSE PEOPLE WHO DOESN'T KNOW ALL OF THIS YET.

Goro's still have a long way to catch his father.But as a Ghibli fan its not bad anime though.

[iPANDARAWR01]

Lmao exactly what I was just thinking

Miyazaki is releasing a new one this year. It is his most ambitious film since Mononoke. Let's see if it comes out as good as his best ones.
