a a long time fan of studio ghibli and especially hayao miyazaki film and i go to the film right on the opening day . when i go out of the theater i have this strange feeling that something be miss and this magical feeling i be experience in all miyazaki film before and but i couldn not say why it fail this time . after i think about the other ghibli movie and i may know the reason represent this film have most of the element of a great miyazaki anime represent cute character and wonderful key animation and a great soundtrack compose by joe hisaishi and the warm story tell give you the feeling of watch a high quality japanese animation film . however and two element be lack represent a deep story and dramaturgy . the purpose of this film be obviously to entertain small child with a simple story line a in case of totoro and so a complicated story a be tell in spirited away or princess mononoke be not really necessary and but on the other hand and this story be simply too superficial . i could not connect to the main character and because there be no character development and dramatic scene be only limited and do not last very long . i really hate to give only 7 star for a miyazaki film and because i would give 10 star to all previous movie right away and but this time it be simply not this wonderful ghibli experience .
