So glad you loved SA Ferris, and the score is by Joe Hisaishi, probably the most overlooked of all the great composers working today, and Miyazaki almost always uses him for his films.It's an amazing score- there really are 4 or 5 completely distinct themes in this with varying styles. I'm looking forward to discovering more of Hisaichi's work.I can't remember, have you seen Mononoke, because he scored that as well.

You don't know how happy your review makes me (snif) "Our baby's all grown up and out savin' the world"
It's strange - animation has a wierd balance - because you can draw and do anything there must be an aweful temptation to deconstruct physical laws (think: David Lynch remaking Pink Floyd - The Wall!) so animators tend to limit themselves TOO much - in an effort to not cheat laws of weight and space.What was really eye opening for me with my first Miyazaki is how creative he was blowing up physical laws but strangely at the same time making actions on the screen always feel authentic. It never feels like a cheat. this is what I've always wished I could see in animation...
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.
I've decided I have a favorite child now.Last night the family was watching Pirates of the Caribean last night and the middle son asked me if we could go in the other room and rewatch Spirited Away instead. We did
