Animated Films!

[Scar]

What do you mean by that, Scar?

Like, where did you see this animation? ^^;
You said you saw something that you think is Studio Ghibli, I want to see what it you saw. =)
I might know what Studio Ghibli movie its from, if I have a glimpse of the actual animation.

I think it was on TV once... But the problem I'm having is that I only faintly remember a few parts that I thought were pretty cool, and that's it, not even the title. I haven't seen it in years. I thought it might have possibly been a Studio Ghibli because of how it had that adventurous fantasy feel to it that the studio tends to have. Though, I might be wrong, since a little while ago I went through the entire Studio Ghibli film list and nothing looked similar enough to it.

Hm, well, that sucks. I hope you can figure out what it was, I know something like that would drive me up the wall until I figured it out. x'D

What little to you recall?

Yeah, that's why I've been wanting to find it so bad XD

From what I remember, it was a movie about some kind of war between people and this strange monster race, that looked sort of like giant slug bug things? Anyway, as a secret weapon the people had this giant humanoid being that climbed over a mountain and was using this strange lazer beam like attack against the monsters. In order to stop the war, a girl was trying to transport a baby monster thing that they were looking for, but while trying to protect it she was fatally wounded. In thanks for saving the baby, the monsters heal her and then the war is over. I could be wrong about certain things, though XD

Gah, don't you hate it when that happens and you're like 'gah! what was the name of that movie!?' I hate that. That's why I now write down every single film I watch so I never forget one. XP

I can't say that the description is ringing a bell for me. But I don't watch a whole lot of anime... Maybe someone else can help you.

that seems vaguely familiar to me, it sort of sounds like princess mononoke, but i only just recently saw princess mononoke, and when i read the description, i got flashbacks of my childhood. sadly, i can't remember.

If you're talking about Nausicaa and the Valley of the wind....
it was made by Miyazaki, or produced by him, but it wasnt a Ghibli movie... if that helps? ^^

I agree with Grifforik, it sounds like the movie you're looking for is Nausicaa. ^u^

I love the little song that the Ohm sing. It's so cute, but also somewhat sad-sounding.

[Sky Kimimota]

Yeah, that does look like the movie I was searching for! Thanks guys!

I'm a bit late to this conversation but animated Films are the best. End of story.

Studio Ghibli is just so amazing. I have no words to describe how I feel about it. I find it probably the best animation film studio there is out there. (My personal opinion) The first one I watched was Kiki's Delivery Service which is just adorable, and then there's Spirited Away that is my childhood as well. Chihiro x Haku is just AHHH. I love all of them (well, the one's I've watched so far), but Howl's Moving Castle is probably my favourite at the moment.

So how did you all find How to Train Your Dragon 2? I absolutely loved it. It was such a good sequel to the first film, which I'm glad for because there are so many bad sequels out there which just make me so sad.

I loved it. ^^ Dreamworks tends to do very good sequels. My only complaint about 'How to Train Your Dragon 2' was how rushed it felt. Both Drago and Valka were not used to their full potential which really bugs me, because they had all this set up to be great characters, but in the end turned out kind of generic. And there was too much going on for one film. But there are certainly worse things. XD Certainly everything it had was awesome! It needed better planning, but it's still a fantastic film on it's own, and I love it. ^^

I also love Studio Ghibli, especially 'Howl's Moving Castle'. And I also grew up with 'Kiki's Delivery Service', so I have a lot of nostalgia for that film. ^^

For HTTYD2, I was just so sad that *SPOILER ALERT*
Stoick died ;v; Honestly, at first I was expecting Valka to die if any of them had to >.>
Drago felt too full of cliches, really and was too much of a not-likable-villain? xDD
I really loved that song though- For the Dancing and the Dreaming, it was really memorable :3

//and I really loved Astrid's design <3
