i just finish watch this movie and i must say that i be so impressed . everything about it be superb . the act the character and the story . a believable child who grow into brave and always willing to help others . his mum must be proud . i could not take my eye off this film for fear of miss something . it be the prefect fable or tale with moral and cute and scary sprite and amonsters but nevertheless heartwarming folk . a child poke and bully at school who become a hero . pick to be a rider at the local village festival and a journey to the goblin mountain where he discover the yokai and who be amaze creation that brian froud would be proud of . and the evil kato and his off sider who definitely need a hug . these evil people capture the yokai and throw them into a red pit along with unwanted object and like motorbike and other mechanical thing and these meld into one horribly violent robotic monster whose only job be to kill . takashi a young boy be the one to become their saviour and alongside a red man or dragon a turtle man and a river princess as well a a cute little creature that and if it have be america they could have turn it into a cuddly toy and sell it at all good toy store . the line be good especially the don not try this at home kid and other gem that bring a smile to your lip . suspend belief and watch this with a child or on your own and enjoy . though i must admit that the end be a wee bit sad . and not necessarily so . cheer furdion .
