Let me start by saying there are many aspects to this movie I love such as the beautiful, hand-drawn art style and the music. This review will lean heavily towards the negative side, but as far as enjoyment this is a 7/10.
Now picture a stereotypical children's movie. This is what I picture. Now there is something charming about the simplistic story line for sure. However, the actual ideas did not play out as well as they could have.
I was more than halfway into the movie before being shown what the motive of the antagonist(s) actually was. Before knowing what the primary motive is

Tonari no Yamada-kun

Underrated imo. I have seen several Studio Ghibli productions, but Tonari no Yomada-kun (My Neighbors the Yamadas) was much different than other Ghibli films. The sketched or newspaper style of this film was something I hadn't seen from Studio Ghibli before, but I enjoyed watching. I feel like Ghibli does well with almost any animation...other than 3d haha. Regarding the actual story, there wasn't really one. The movie was made up of short clips or little moments, which I typically wouldn't like. However, the movie captured life of a family and I got to know each characters personality. My favorite character was Shige:) Although this

I watched this three times because I wanted to understand this, but I am confused.
I understand this is a short story. However, there is no introduction to the character. There is literally no plot or story. Animation is just thrown in your face. The sound effects are decent, but over dramatic. This short film doesn't make any sense and is a bit overwhelming. I appreciate the effort and time the creators put into this art. I personally was not a fan. Overall- character development was non-existent. story didn't exist. animation and sound effects were immoderate. I rate it 2/10 for effort. |
