Not completly new, but a real pleasure
On one side has this new production from the studio Ghibli a small touch of repetition: a flying castle, magie, known faces. But on the other side a nice and captivating story.
What is of course not new, but the reason of the success of this film is the undiscutable quality of the animation: colors, graphics and sond track. After a few minutes you don't think if you already saw it or not, you are in the film.
A little bit disappointing is the real contents of the strory. You learn a lot about Hauro und Sophie, but not so much about the other main persons like Markl or the small fire devil Calcifer.
Don't think to much and only enjoy it!
