Studio Ghibli is the japanese animation studio that during the last thirty years made some of the most beautiful movies ever made. Princess Mononoke (the english dubbing has Gillian Anderson in it by the way), My Neighbour Totoro, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (hint hint nudge nudge), Ponyo on a Cliff by the Sea, Howl's Moving Castle and many wonderful others. Recently they joined forces with Level 5 and made a videogame too, and I've been craving it for two years now, since I first read about it.
Basically it's the story of a kid whose mom suddenly dies. One of his plushies comes to life and tells him there's another world, a parallel world, with magic and wonders where his mom's soul is still alive. Everyone here has a soul mate, shares a soul, with someone from the other world. The kid agrees to go to the other side, because he wants to bring his mom back to life. The other world is magnificent and fantastic and full of magic, but there's this nagging feeling I'm getting it is either a product of his mind trying to evade the pain OR the magic creature lied to him, because he needed a human to help him in his world.
So there's the captivating, beautiful story paired with the stunning animations and wonderful scenery, that make me feel like I'm walking through a Ghibli movie. ♥ And I'm just about to enter the 1001 Nights town, I can't wait!
