Hayao Miyazaki meets J.R.R Tolkein.
Hayao Miyazaki meets J.R.R Tolkein. Here we have Miyazakis animation and wonderful, intriguing characters combined with Tolkein-esque landscapes and messages of Mankind’s relationship to Mother Nature. That and a top-notch cast of American actors, including Claire Danes, Gillian Anderson, Billy Bob Thorton, Minnie Driver, Jada Pinkett-Smith, and especially Billy Crudup’s standout performance as the hero.

For me the greatest animated movie. Stunning drawings, great music, and good vs evil is not as simplistically depicted as in western similar epic stories (such as lotr).

I meant to say that it’s Tolkein-esque in scale more then in plot.
