I think it had very pretty animations, just for the record I am a huge fan of Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. So already I had high hopes for this film. And I must say it is no way one of Ghibli's best, and I think you may have guessed that by the IMBD mark maybe. But even if the any Ghibli movie PLOT doesn't appeal to you, you still have that beautiful animation with all sorts of amazing stories behind, so if Ghibli fails to grab you're attention with the plot, it will sure grab by its visual beauty, I mean this wasn't a bad movie or anything, just kind of average, but as I'm such a Studio Ghibli fan I loved pretty much anyway. But now just a bit on the plot, the characters and the situation; Well it's just really weird, I mean where'd the idea of shape shifting raccoons come from anyway!? That's just very very strange. It's also quite sad as the racoon's habitat is being destroyed by Japanese humans so, not very nice. Another you must must keep in mind is that Hayao Miyazaki actually didn't direct this movie, nor did his son, some guy named Isao Takahata did, he's apparently a long time friend of master Miyazaki. Anyway, what I mean is that everything Miyazaki himself directed churned out to be absolutely mind gripping and stunning visual beauty, and they are just two things you desperately need while watching anything; and that's what Studio Ghibli has.
I'd recommend this to anyone who is interested and loves or loved Studio Ghibli's work and if you are planning to watch the whole works of Ghibli, but do not, I repeat do NOT, expect any sort of masterpiece, in this case, I think it's for the visual beauty this time.
