Ratings and reviews

I started writing in elementary school and this movie made me feel seen and understood. I didn't have support, but I never stopped. I'm published now, and this movie always makes me smile. The geode metaphor is one I hold close to my heart.

BE WARNED! This movie only has English dubs, there is no option to watch this in Japanese.

Love it my 3rd favorite studio ghibli movie its so good who doesn't like it it was so good
