So what's up with Hiroyuki Morita?


He hasn't dropped off the face of the planet, but his resume since The Cat Returns is rather slim. I know he's done a few things as a key animator and co-director, but at the time Cat was released he was considered a leading light of the next generation at Ghibli. Anyone know what happened?

i guess it's clear with such an average movie.

reply

Disagree. This fits in well with Studio Ghibli's other films. It's magical film and one of the studio's funniest.

i know but humans rarely see us, specially in our real form.

reply

We do. We just let you guys think we don't. It's cute. Like a toddler who thinks he's invisible when he covers his eyes.

reply

i know but you rarely tell other people because you are afraid they might think you are crazy, you know that some of us got wings? we are pretty special.

reply

We tell everybody. We all think you guys are adorable. And birds, bats, and insects have wings too. It's not that special.

Your grammar and punctuation is no better than theirs.

That's no excuse for bad grammar. If you're going to do something, you do it properly.

No, son. You just don't know the rules.

I loved The Cat Returns! I found it to be very funny and a crazy adventure! I give it a 9 actually.
But I can see people who have little imagination giving it an average review - not that there is anything wrong with lacking imagination at all. In fact, imagination may be something people use as a defense mechanism from the problems in their life?
