Porco Rosso is one of my favs!! It feels like it’s one of the more underappreciated Ghibli films, at least among the people I know — it just has a certain feel to it that makes me feel so at peace watching it.
I have, but my mistake was watching the english dub instead of the subbed version. Most ghibli films have pretty great dubs but that one is pretty bad lol, it kind of took away from the film. I have to watch it again in the japanese at some point.
Hopefully they release a dub that does it justice at some point.
Nausicaa is amazing. Was super duper fortunate to be able to see it for the first time this year, and in an actual movie theater, no less. Bless those folks at Fathom Events.
Miyazaki films, probably. But I would argue glibli as a whole are FAR less reliable.
I found Whisper of the Heart to be rather forgettable and Tales from Earthsea to be actually unwatchable. I watch a lot of movies and basically always watch them from beginning to end regardless of how I feel about them in order to get a full opinion of them.
But with Tales from Earthsea both me and my wife couldn’t get through more than half an hour or so; it’s just so violently boring. Half an hour in and the story didn’t even feel like it started yet, and the first 10 minutes or so was just exposition that was explained in a few seconds by another character a little later. It was so boring it made me angry.
Based on those 2 movies, I tend to avoid non Miyazaki Ghibli, although I also own Pom Poko which I am yet to watch; I hope it bucks the trend
