It's been at the theater near my house for a long time, and I finally found time to go see it. I love Miyazaki's work! The animation of the castle itself was absolutely fantastic, like some kind of evolved Monty Python style cartoon.
The story was kind of weak at the end though. Super-happy fairy tale endings are boring. Or more specifically, they're not compelling, emotional, thought-provoking, or anything else that I think great art should be. Still a great movie though. I have to go see it again, since I was unlucky enough to sit in front of a group of little kids who talked the whole time. Darn kids.
