Thanks for the heads up. This looks very interesting indeed. Although I've only seen one of Miyazaki's movies (The Castle Of Cagliostro), I've been wanting to see more of his work.
In keeping with this thread's topic, here's a movie I'd recommend:
- Astro Boy (the CGI movie recently released on DVD): Although it makes some changes to the story (as has been the case with each version of "Astro Boy"), overall it was a good movie that was true to the original manga. One nice touch is that they go against expectations with some of the characters (to provide an example, Dr. Elefun is treated in a dignified manner rather than as a more comic character). Although the movie is CGI, the character retain the Tezuka's distinctive look.
