One of the kids we work with got me into studio Ghibli movies about 4 years ago and whereas previously I dismissed all things 'cartoon' these movies are incredible in depth and complexity and I was also surprised that some were based on traditional English literature. This wasn't my favourite on first watch, but after being forced to watch two or three times, it grew on me as I kept seeing new things and details. Amazing movie.
Hope you and your family are all well Mac and having a great weekend :-)
