ASIAN POP Feelin’ Ghibli \/ A retrospective at PFA shows why Disney has a thing or two to (re)learn from Japanese animation kings Miyazaki and Takahata<\/a><\/p>\n

I agree with the author of this column – wholeheartedly. Disney has lost focus on what makes a good movie – a good story, good characters (and characterization), and something that you can care about. It makes me pine for my younger days, when I actually anticipated the next Disney movie. (Of course, all these lovely Studio Ghibli movies are a very acceptable substitute!)<\/p>\n
