  • Fantastic Planet (1973)
    Review preview for Fantastic Planet

    Trippy, Seventies animated version of the biblical story of Exodus.
  • Howl's Moving Castle (2004)
    Review preview for Howl's Moving Castle

    A magical tale in a troubled kingdom on the brink of war.
  • My Neighbour Totoro (1988)
    Review preview for My Neighbour Totoro

    My Neighbour Totoro is a true family film, both about, and for, families and while it is wholly concerned with good, decent, likeable people (as well as endearing rustic entities), it somehow avoids saccharine sentiments or a pat resolution.

    Anton Bitel · 4.5 out of 5
    Magical film about two girls who have adventures with the forest spirits they encounter. Twenty-fifth anniversary re-release.
  • The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
    Review preview for The Nightmare Before Christmas

    Henry Selick directs with clever staging and infinite patience. The musical numbers are catchy, boisterous and hugely entertaining.

  • Origin: Spirits Of The Past (2006)
    Review preview for Origin: Spirits Of The Past
