Les chefs-d'œuvre intemporels, l'univers de Miyazaki et l'animation rétro.


I have watched Spirited Away for 30 years and I'm just now seeing Jiji on the pillow. Had me in my living room looking like that Leonardo DiCaprio meme (you know the one 😅)
My theater just put this up today. It's definitely not as cute as last year's, but it serves its purpose.
I’ve always enjoyed Arrietty, having watched both the American and British dubs, but seeing it in IMAX was nothing short of incredible! Of the three Ghibli films I’ve seen in IMAX, those being Kiki’s Delivery Service, Whisper of the Heart, and now Arrietty (missing Princess Mononoke continues to kick me in the butt), this one has benefited by far the most. Watching on either a phone or TV doesn’t do this film justice because the sound design is unparalleled. The IMAX visuals are fantastic, of course, but the sound is sublime. All the tiny details that I couldn’t hear before are so present and clear.
Because the British dub wasn’t available, which I prefer, I watched the Japanese version for the first time, and it was delightful. To start, the subbing is markedly better than Whisper of the Heart, my most recent comparison, but the voice acting is fabulous (to be expected) and full of life. It also demonstrated that the dubbed VAs really cared about their performances as well as I compared the two (from memory) and they’re remarkably similar. Haru is still as much a gremlin as ever, so I’m happy!
I will say my show times were a bit weird (Tuesday at 1:30 PM and 4:00 PM), but such is life!
Whenever I watch this film, I enjoy it but wish it was a little longer. That feeling still remains but I love it so much more now!
What’d you think about the film and its restoration? Had you seen it before or was this your first time?
Next up, Ponyo…
I recently acquired a small batch of DVDs, a VHS tape, and this cassette tape.
The quality caught my attention, and after researching, I discovered that some copies were made in 2021 by another fan.
I will keep it carefully in my collection because, even though it's not official, I really liked the quality!
Since only a few copies were made, I imagine this is the only one that reached South America and is in Brazil! Thank you! 💊
I recently joined a cake picnic in my city, It was the first one here. I wanted to do like a cottagecore ghibli theme hehe I forgot to take a picture of the crumb shot 🥲 I tried to practicing piping flowers end up looking like pinwheels haha 😚 I definitely need to practicing my piping. I do see it’s getting better each time I make a cake.
The flavor of this cake
• ube chiffon spongecake
• ube ganache
• creme brûlée (vanilla pastry cream mousse with crackling caramel)
• coconut milk jelly
• shredded coconut
Took me long hours to decorate ☺️ at first I was thinking it won’t be finish, by the time I came back to my seat, there was one slice left. The nice lady came to me and took the last one! I didn’t get to win that day but to my cake board all empty, I felt really happy it’s like I got chosen ☺️🌱
The host did such a lovely work creating this event for us bakers.
