I choose the movie ”Tales from Earthsea”, because it’s one of my favourite movies. I have seen it a couple of times before and i love animation movies, which has been done in Japan like this movie is. Tales from Earthsea is an original Japanese animation movie and it has been released first time in Japan in 2006. Tales from Earthsea bases on Ursula K. Le Guinins same named fantasybook. I have not readed that book, but I think that it could be good book to read, especially when you have watched this movie. This is a fantasy movie: there is dragons and magicians. All those little and very precise things, like well- drawn dragons, just makes a wonderful movie. Also all those soundtracks are so touching and sometimes they are sad. This movie has been directed by Goro Miyazaki, who is a son of one worlds famous animator, Hayao Miyazaki.
Characters are so distinict but still they look like they belong together. The main character, prince Arren, had killed his own father and then he left on his own journey. There are also more characters but they are morre like supporting characters. I think that all characters are equally good and they cannot be compared to each other. Because this movie is an original Japanese animation, it has been drawed from beginning to the end. It’s not like animation on nowadays, which is more like wax dolls and all made with computer. I love Japanese animation, because they are drawed and it makes them perfect movies. The drawingspot is precise and there are many details that makes creatures very impressive. I like that style.
In this movie, special effects are like flames and glowing and those effects just makes the scene more impressive. For example Arren’s sword glows when he drags it out from it’s sheath. The effects are very nice, I like those too. Tales from Earthsea- movie’s genre is Japanese animation. This is Studio Ghibli’s DVD- video, as like others Japanese animation movies. I love these animations and I have been watching them for 10 years already. Every movie is different and I like all those, what I’ve ever seen. And this, Tales from Earthsea, is one of my favourite animations.
