the animation be good and the imagery be good and although not totally original and however and the story be too long and way too confusing and and over the top dramatic . after about an hour i couldn not wait to get it over with . with so many character that have nothing to contribute and plot element that either come from nowhere or go nowhere this movie really wasn not one movie at all and would have be good of a a short series or possibly two movie . if you like this kind of typical story maybe you will like it and but frankly and i have be spoil by much more creative story that actually have some sort message to tell . go rent a miyazaki film and watch it twice and you will get way more out of it .
