Actually I was looking into that only yesterday (before you mentioned it). I'll check it out I think, is it better than Spirited Away? (the only film in that genre Ive seen).
Can a bird sing, does a drunk fart like it's going out of fashion??? YES, OF COURSE IT IS!!! It's very girly, feel-good stuff. I wish I had it on DVD so it's on hand to cheer me up when I need it.
Spirited Away was good but I was a bit freaked out by that weird spirit that went mad and starting gobbling everything - That scene was V. weird.
Go check My Neighbour Toturo out Jesbo, it's a lovely, lovely film

Ain't seen that - I'd like too though. You know what I mean; It's the tender side to all that manga - Not that I would ever diss manga, I'm a girl but manga with all the violence and gangster/assasin stories were uber cool. C4 I HOPE YOU'RE LISTENING!! WE WANT MANGA BACK!

I think Princess Mononoke is fantastic - it may have violence but it's got very important anti-industrialisation themes etc. that makes it kind of fluffy at heart. While kicking some ass at the same time - the perfect balance. And great music.
The 7 faces of Dr. Lao- oriental magic,Harryhausen type monsters and western adventure. A criminally underrated movie that deserves to be much more famous than it is!

My vote goes to Billy the Kid and the Green Baize Vampire..... a much missed deleted film....
It brought Vampires/Rocky Horror sentiments to the world of snooker! It was totally sublime. I saw it only once on Channel 4 shortly after the channel was launched. I wish they'd show it again. Or some kind soul would release in on DVD.....
