This was the first Miyazaki film I could watch in theaters, and I am so glad for the experience. This, however, will rank low in my Miyazaki ranking. It felt like a lot was missing from this film.

An excellent documentary on Hayao Miyazaki, animator/creator of films such as, Princess Mononoke, My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, etc. The documentary follows Mr. Miyazaki from shortly after he announced his retirement to when he decided to make one more feature film, which has not been finished yet.

This was my fourth Miyazaki film that I have seen, and it is definitely up there with my favorites. It has so much heart to it and the world that Miyazaki creates is fantastic. There are so many cool and fascinating details that he doesn't bother to explain that you simply have to take for granted and enjoy. It's beautiful.

Another win for Miyazaki! Set in a different world than most of his other films, this was still a very fun and enjoyable film. Not my favorite Studio Ghibli, but still enjoyable!

Princess Mononoke was my very first Miyazaki film. It weirded me out. However, as I become more immersed in his films, I find that I love his work. This work is beautiful.

What a beautiful film. This is definitely my second favorite Miyazaki film. What an enchanting story and such a love-letter to the films of the second World War. I highly recommend this film!!

Wonderful high fantasy rpg
I love this game. It has a wonderfully out there fantasy story line akin to a Miyazaki film and I love the options for winning (harvesting above, exploring below or a mix of the two). I kind of wish it allowed you to go play beyond the allotted rounds. Overall if you're looking for a great, beautiful fantasy game that is surprisingly non violent I would recommend this one.

"I wanted to throw in a film as well and this is a real classic. There’s a lot to say about it but what I really love is the location. It takes place in a vaguely French/Italian/Mediterranean environment. It’s like a fantastical Amalfi coast or Cote d’Azur seen through the eyes of a Japanese genius. Like all Miyazaki, it can be appreciated by people of any age and has deep, moving insights about growing up."

I'm always curious to watch a documentary about filmmakers and their craft. This documentary was very interesting to watch. I've seen two Miyazaki films and three Studio Ghibli films. It was very interesting to see a little bit of the men behind the films. The way that they think and the way that they act. I don't think that The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness was the best doc I've watched, but it was interesting nonetheless.
