This film was fucking cool. I enjoyed it WAY more than "spirited away" which was the last film by the same people...I don't REALLY agree with the hype calling it the Star Wars for today, but there WERE certain similar elements.
Good, solid characters none of them "pointless" as are many in such animated films.
Awesome soundtrack, really spectacular background and geographical art, and a storyline that's strange, but very easy to follow. Some great action sequences, crazy-ass giant animals/gods/demons running around.
Overall, one of the best animated films I've seen in ages.

i really love the studio Ghibli films but i think Spirited Away is still my favorite (even over the lovely but more simplistic Totoro)
The animation in Spirited Away is so rich ... and the images - for me - have more impact .... like the train sequence ...
As in totoro i really like that - mystery train/transportation - in the middle of the night when the real world is sleeping.
Princess M. is still a bit to violent for me to watch with my kid so I have only seen it once.
HAve you seen Castle in the Sky, or any of the others ?
