The best magic is the kind that’s impossible to work out. The stuff that leaves you scratching your head, jaw dangling open, eyes oscillating with amazement. If it’s hand-drawn by a team of 60 Studio Ghibli artists (at a painstaking pace of one minute of footage a month, FYI), the more the magical. And when the director is Hayao Miyazaki, aka probably the greatest animator of all time, we’re laughing all the way to a world of wonder. Although, curb your anticipation, slight caveat to come.
