      Mary and the Witch's Flower--New Witch Cartoon

      The red-haired witch, the broom, and the black cat, in "Mary and the Witch's Flower", can easily remind people of Ghibli's masterpiece "Witch's Delivery Service". On April 28, this animated film with a strong Ghibli style will also be released on the mainland."Mary and the Witch's Flower,"...

      After reading the pit, I will write

      I issued a ticket during class today. I have seen the poster and trailer a month ago. I reserve my opinion and come back to comment after reading it.

      Let me briefly introduce the film first. Director Mi is the director of the previously acclaimed villain Arrietty who borrowed things. Having now left from Ghibli, this time for an independent film.

      I have worked in Ghibli for many years, and I know that I have absorbed quite a lot of Ghibli elements just by looking at the...

      A decent fairy tale

      To be honest, I was shocked to see such a low rating. It's not that bad, right? ! After reading it, I will still give it an 8.

      Although the stalk of the story is not too new, the plot music and even the picture are not too surprising, but I can't say what's wrong, and it can be regarded as very attentive.

      If there is something wrong, it is that the director is not very good at grasping the emotions of the audience and cannot let the emotions of the audience go up and down with...

      Only disappointed.

      Since 2000, I have watched a lot of animation, and now it has been more than ten years, and it can be regarded as an old animation house.

      As I get older, there are fewer and fewer animations I can watch, and there are only a few that move me from beginning to end, including Ghibli. "The Little Man Who Borrowed Something" is my favorite. Compared with big scenes and big plots, I prefer Ghibli's delicate and sincere emotional descriptions. So this time I heard that Milin Hongchang's new...

      A shoddy misappropriation of money, a work in which Hayao Miyazaki's copycat also failed

      Mary and the Witch's Flower, at first glance, I felt a bit crude, but after a few minutes, I felt that the characters were pretentious. After half an hour, I felt that the plot was really messed up...

      Character design, except for the heroine, you can't find anyone who has been carefully designed, and some people even have a face that has changed clothes. The feeling of failure of Hayao Miyazaki, including the personality design, is inexplicable, such as The heroine, too superficial,...

      The broom, the lively and loyal dog, is full of indomitable spirit. Little Black and Little Grey's love spans dimensions. The queen should have a good time 233333 (then put her and Xiao Hinata into the real life of 666..) Xiao Sang felt TUT when she saw her return to the former...

      The color tone is very beautiful and comfortable, very similar to the color of a set of Japanese fairy tales that I bought when I was a child. The story is actually very simple. My friend said that it was a cameo from all the characters of the fanfiction of Spirited Away. Think about it really, When the Doctor appeared, he really thought of the super cute spider Abo who was cooking soup in the back. Peter also looked like a white dragon a lot of times~ But it's still quite cute. The song is...

    Background creation

    This is the first animation work published by Hiromasa Yonebayashi after he left Studio Ghibli. The animation studio he collaborated with, Studio Ponoc, was established by Yoshiaki Nishimura.
