  After watching 20 Disney direct-to-DVD sequels in a row it's nice to watch a real movie instead

  Way too wholesome and sweet to a degree where it's almost unbearable, my heart oh god my fucking heart [starts banging on table] kind robots! robots that look scary on the outside but are in fact programmed to be extremely gentle, robots that care about animals, robots that play with fox squirrels in their free time aaaaaa look! the robot gives flowers, the robot tends to the grave of its master. I am going to cry now.

  There’s something in the magic of Miyazaki’s films that captures the feeling of childhood imagination. One of the biggest things that impresses me about him as a storyteller is that he is able to replicate those feelings even as an adult, when life begins to lose its shine.

  It reminds me of that feeling when you’re young and the world can still shift around you when you want to play. The floor isn’t carpet anymore - you really do see lava. When you and your brother jump off of the picnic table and pretend to fly - you really feel like you’re soaring through the air.

  The adventure of Castle in the Sky is fun, dramatic, and heartfelt. It’s a…
