Anecdotes
The end credits feature a montage of still illustrations done in traditional pencil and ink style, unlike the preceding 80 minutes of CG animation. These static drawings show events that happen after the end of the movie. A similar technique was done in an earlier Ghibli movie, Mon voisin Totoro (1988). In one of them, Earwig is seen watching on her brand new TV another Studio Ghibli animated movie, Le Château ambulant (2004).

Thomas: That's the Mandrake. Yeah, his den's just on the other side of the wall.

4/10

Questionable story and theme

Studio Ghibli's latest movie experimented with CGI anime instead of the traditional hand-drawn method. Directed by Goro Miyazaki, and Hayao also played a part in planning this movie.

The CGI was pretty good. However, I prefer the traditional hand-drawing more, as it felt more authentic and raw. This movie did not feel like a Studio Ghibli movie. Instead, it's like watching an average American animation movie.

Even more, the story was weird and a bit boring. This is the second Ghibli movie straight to TV, the first being Ocean Waves. The plot revolving around Earwig, who got adopted by a grumpy couple and was ordered to work tirelessly. Because at the orphanage home she was the boss and manipulated people around her to obey her, now she wanted to manipulate this new couple also. It's so weird that this was the message that the movie wanted to show audiences.

Although there were some funny moments, there wasn't much to the story. Most of the story was just Earwig being ordered around, and then the climax, if that's even called a climax, happened. The story then abruptly ended. There were plot points that were basically ignored.

Overall, problematic and short story that could be explored more. Maybe Ghibli should stick with the hand-drawn animation that made the studio famous. 4/10.
