Very adorable movie. This is possibly one of the cutest animes I have seen in a while.

Story - The story definetly wasn't what made this a good movie. While it was a good story, I felt that it went by too slow. That and the fact the subs that were released obviously weren't made by someone fluent with the english language. I guess it's kind of soon to be jumping into rating the story as the real english version might make it a little more tolerable.
Other than that, this is definitely a children's movie, thus the story wasn't too deep. Think Totoro with a tad ... bit more plot.

Art - I was absolutely amazed by the art. As usual for a Miyazaki film, the art made the movie really enjoyable, despite the lack of a real story. I got the feel of an older disney movie while watching it and that made it really enjoyable for me. This movie could be completely enjoyable without any dialougue, as most of the story unfolds in the visual aspects.

Sound - The music, like the animation, reminded me of an older disney movie (For example, The Fox and The Hound or Pinocchio). It mde the movie easy to watch and added to the enjoyment factor. I also absolutely adore the main theme. It's catchy and will probably be in my head for weeks to come.

Character - The main characters of this movie were absolutely ADORABLE. Throughout the whole movie the words "I want one!" went through my mind. I felt the characters were for the most part pretty well developed.

Enjoyment - The overall cuteness of this movie made me squee with joy. Within the very first 5 minutes, I had a huge smile on my face and felt overall warmth enveloping me. It was a very easy movie to enjoy.
