I've decided I'm going to start writing movie reviews since that whole writing about my life thing didn't work out. So I figured I would start with my top five favorite movies of all time! It took FOREVER to decide, but it's done! Set in stone! Here's number one:
So for starters, it's a Miyazaki movie, which makes it all the more better. All I can say about the animation is that it's classic Ghibli: simple yet fantastic. What really surprised me were the voice actors they got for the movie: Kirsten Dunst, Phil Hartman (rest his soul), Janeane Garofolo, Matthew Lawrence, and Debbie Reynolds! Studio Ghibli can afford to get big names now since they've put out so many movies, but this was dubbed in '97! Crazy!
When Disney produced the film, some of the material was altered, such as the soundtrack. Normally I'd abhor any change to a Ghibli movie, but I LOVE the songs they added. "Soaring" and "I'm Gonna Fly" are freakin awesome. They're the kind of songs you listen to when nothing else will make you happy :)
Y'know how people have that one movie that they watched again and again and again as kids? This one's mine :) If I'm remembering right, it was a gift my dad got me from one of his business trips to Japan. Ever since then, this movie had made me smile. I have so many happy memories associated with it, from watching it on our family road trips to chilling at Selena and Katasha's house. To this day I can't get tired of it. It's like every time I watch it I see something I never noticed or there's a line I've forgotten that catches me off-guard. There's such a comfy nostalgia that comes with watching this movie that I absolutely love! It's such a whimsical and innocent movie and I heart it to bits <3 It's my official favorite movie ever.
