It’s not Miyazaki’s best work, but it is leagues beyond any traditional 2-D animation out of 3-D-mad Hollywood lately, and more beguiling than anything Disney’s done in ages.

...as much of a hand-drawn treat as 'Spirited Away', chock-full of numinous sunsets, fabulous organic machinery and gratuitously delightful touches.
