REVIEW: From Up On Poppy Hill (2011)
From Up On Poppy Hill was Gorō Miyazaki’s second attempt at directing a film for the studio his father co-founded.

I remember finding this…

Released as a TV movie in 1993, Ocean Waves was directed by Tomomi Mochizukim, marking the first Ghibli film not directed by Hayao Miyazaki or Isao Takahata, as well as Mochizukim’s only movie with the studio.…
