Muppet ass bird movie

#the boy and the heron was good! visually stunning #however. I think it falls into the same trap that everything since ponyo and arietty has fallen into #which is too many elements. the ‘rock’ was unnecessary. it should have just been more of a… crazy wizard guy found some way to alter the spo #spirit world/afterlife on his own? I think the element of accepting new family members was a bit lost.#the heron wanting to bring him to the spirit world would have been a bit more impactful if he had been the g.grand uncle in disguise?#parrots were a really fun element but using them as the end-villain was not satisfying #there was a chance to have the main character decide the end of the plot but that was just taken away from him #cursed with never remembering character names. but the plot I was expecting was a bit more mature with the pregnant aunt being asked to give #up her child to be the next wizard or something. like that’s why she was brought there. because the main character resisted so much so they #took the next youngest of kin to raise in the spirit world #man. that said the scenery surrounding the first pelican scene until they get the fish is like. directly from many dreams I’ve had

It’s official, I’ve finished creating my Studio Ghibli Watch List for working on my Disenchanted AU

Castle of Cagliostro

Nausicaa valley of the wind

Castle in the Sky

My neighbor Totoro

Kiki’s delivery service

Porch Rosso

Whisper of the Heart

Princess Mononoke

Spirited Away

The Cat Returns

Howl’s Moving Castle

Ponyo

Secret world of Arrietty? (Just once, the books were better. I haven’t read them, but I should. They definitely should have used the Indian Kid instead of Sho/Shawn the movie has good music and visuals though)

From up on Poppy Hill, visually pleasing just not interested in the long lost relative related plot

The Wind Rises

The Tale of Princess Kaguya, this was really helpful for my canon divergent rewrite Ducktales AU Karass

When Marnie Was there, Tftoml! Morgan’s character is inspired by Anna Sasaki. The other characters that form her personality is Tulip Olsen from Infinity Train and Masha from Baba Yaga’s assistant. The movie’s also visually stunning and has good music.

Finally the latest one, The boy and the Heron inspired by How do you live and it somehow has the same plot for my AU, The Fairytale of my life

Saw the boy and the heron

Thoughts:

A good movie, slow start but solid follow through. A handful of visually stunning sequences. At times it felt a little disorganized or contrived, though. A lot of themes and concepts about death and war and such but at times felt lacking in follow through with them. Very possible that like cultural concepts or dialogue got lost in translation though idk

Superfan's Short Movie Reviews: "The Boy and the Heron"

It goes without saying that Hayao Miyazaki is one of my favorite filmmakers. So, when I heard that he was doing a new movie, I knew I wasn't going to miss it for the world. Now that I have seen it, all I can say is... Good lord, he's done it again.

This film is another masterpiece from the legendary master of Japanese animation. With stunning visuals, layered characters, and a deep story that's as personal as it is emotional, this beautiful work of art deserves to be experienced.
