So many people love and fawn over Japanese animation that I know I'm setting myself up as a target when I say... ugh. Save for the music which was great, I had to force myself to get through this movie. As usual, it looked like the director took 6 different animators, put them in 6 different rooms with 6 different scripts and then patchworked it together. Throw in a few fat women and weird monsters that turn into people and visa versa and voila... you get this movie and countless others just like it. Give me Don Bluth instead.
