Studio Ghibli, Movies #203-207

These are all the Studio Ghibli movies that I hadn't seen previously.

207. Pom Poko (1994)

Rating: 8/10

Review: Studio Ghibli backlog. This is probably second to Valley of the Wind as my favorite Ghibli film.  It's about shape shifting raccoons whose forest environments are being encroached on my progressing human developments so the raccoons become Eco-terrorists and try to disrupt the construction by violence and also by taking the shapes of different goblins to scare the humans away. This movie has a lot more depth than I was anticipating and it's definitely geared towards adults with all the different maturation of life themes that are present. Highly Recommended.

206. The Last Unicorn (1982)

Rating: 6/10

Review: Studio Ghibli "related" backlog. This is Studio Ghibli related because with in a few years of this coming out the same main animators were hired again to do Nausicaa Valley of the Wind which would quickly there after become Studio Ghibli.

205. Whisper of the Heart (1995)

Rating: 5/10

Review: Studio Ghibli backlog.  This anime just drags on and on, and it's one of the non sensational Ghibli films just about kids living life and not in an interesting way.

204. The Cat Returns (2002)

Rating: 6/10

Review: Studio Ghibli backlog. Super whimsical tale of a girl transported to a land where cats live like humans.  Even though that plot sounds silly this was still enjoyable but extremely kid centric.

203. Ocean Waves (1993)

Rating: 6/10

Review: Studio Ghibli backlog. This is one of the anime's that isn't about supernatual beings or even an action movie.  It's about school kids and the social pressures they face while going through school, while that plot seems a bit dry I still enjoy these non-sensational anime films from time to time.  But I wouldn't really seek this out over Studio Ghibli's sensational animes.
