I went to the showing in Boston and I plan to also see My Neighbor Totoro and Nausicaa, as well as a few others if I can fit it in to my schedule.

Posted by Heidi80 on 02.07.2012, 09:43 AM: If I've understood correctly, the reason why Disney wouldn't touch Only yesterday was fore it's "adult content" (most likely the stuff about periods and the boys obsession with the girls). To me this sounds really weird, if they were only worried about the "adult content" they could have put a high age restriction, like 11 or 13 on it. Ghibli is the best, the mouse company sucks. I myself love Only yesterday and think it's a really beautiful movie. You're right what you said in your blog about Taeko seeming like a real character. For me, characters have always been Takahata's strongest point. |

The films are just better imo, for me, no Disney film is as powerful as Only Yesterday, but i guess some people find the 'entertainment factor' of Disney to be a better watch.... i like Disney films by the way, don't mean to sound to negative towards them... |
