Spaghetti, I did pop over to Japan and visited the Studio Ghibli Museum. I still believe that they are not AS mass market oriented, that their production is more sophisticated, that the art work is superb. I believe that the general excellence of them increased their markets.
The Disney animations are clearly PRIMARILY aimed at a world wide market, which means that in general they are 'friendly' and deal with issues at a lower level. Ghibli's Grave of the Fireflys is one example of the differences I am talking about. I haven't seen the latest one - but will be looking out for it. If they have moved to a more 'Disneyesque' mode, I will very disappointed.
Rumpole of the Bailey would be brilliant to get!! Started watching 'Scary Movie' tonight, but decided it should have been called "Totally stupid Movie" and it will head for the rubbish bin. Watched 'Leatherheads' instead, which was much better. Last night we watched "Kiss kiss bang bang', which had us crying with laughter a couple of times.
