Beautiful movie...Why arent there more like this?


The story, the graphics, the music...everything was a pleasure about this movie and i dont even like animation movies not even for adult ones, which brings me to the point why arent there more movies like this made?

I agree - it's a masterpiece.

I agree completely with the sentiment, but the reason is obvious: Here in the U.S., CG movies are equated with kiddie fare. They're babysitters. Of course, traditional animation and CG animation are art mediums which can just as easily tell mature stories, and this is recognized particularly in Japan.

You might check out Final Fantasy: Advent Children. It's a sequel to a video game with some byzantine plotting, so some of the story will be lost on you. However, it has gorgeous animation and superlative fight scenes. Here's a trailer:

I loved this film as well! You might want to check out The Prince of Egypt. The visuals, the music, the animation is perfect imo.

Because a lot of Americans don't like more seriously themed animation. If you like this, I highly recommend Japanese anime.


I also recommend The 13th Warrior and Vikings (2013) tv series for more hiking lore.
