  At least Cars 2 had the decency to finish its story.

  Review by davidehrlich ★★

  Once upon a time, some very masochistic representatives from the Dwango Artificial Intelligence Laboratory decided that it would be a good idea to invite Studio Ghibli co-founder Miyazaki Hayao — cinema’s greatest animator, in addition to being one of its most reliable curmudgeons and a living emblem of the fanatical artistry that certain forces are trying to squeeze out of the film business however they can — to watch a grotesque demo of artificially intelligent animation.

  There’s a good chance that you already know what happened next, as the video clip of Miyazaki’s withering reaction went so viral that it’s probably been seen by more people than some of his actual movies. The footage is like a snuff film in…

So you just smile and say “good job, buddy!”, and never think about that shitty drawing again for the rest of your life.

Director Gorô Miyazaki's third attempt at living up to his father’s legacy, Earwig and the Witch, is sadly one of the worst Ghibli films I've seen thus far. Off the back of his rather lacklustre, boring and uneventful 'Tales of Earthsea' and his surprisingly enjoyable 'From Up on Poppy Hill', you wouldn't have been mistaken in thinking that Gorô would continue his growth into his next film...but right from the get-go Earwig and the Witch fails to inspire, creating a film that lacks the heart, passion and soul of many of Ghibli's previous outings, culminating in a project that ultimately feels devoid of life and…
