The animation and score is some of Ghibli’s best. The story is definitely simpler than most Ghibli movies, but that’s fine. Not all Ghibli movies need to be super deep and complex. I had a good time with this. Also it’s funny how Matt Damon in this (I watched the dub) is trying to get back home. Tha ... t man is always getting lost or dragged away from home.
