This is a beautiful film and I longed for its domestic release. Unfortately, I felt very disappointed at how the movie just abruptly ended. It looked as if they were on some sort of deadline and since they were running behind, they just ended the film! It's a real shame, as up until the ending, the movie was great--exceptional animation and direction throughout! I've seen many Miyazaki films and this was the first that disappointed me (though, I must admit when I saw Nausicaa I was even more disappointed). Instead, try watching Kiki's Delivery Service, My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke or Castle in the Sky--all are much more complete and satisfying Miyazaki films.
