These reviews here lead me to believe the movie was going to be boring or something. It's entertaining the entire way through. Best movie I've seen in the cinema in over a year.
Sure it's not as good as Spirited Away, but that was rated as the best animated film of the 2000s so of course it's going to be hard to beat.
The soundtrack in this film is great, lots of recurring themes in the right times. The animation is lush and looks like it came from Ghibli. I really don't see why anyone wouldn't like this movie, it was really good.
Go see it for yourself, don't listen to the reviews. The story was good, the animation was good, the sound was good.

Studio Ponoc, heir apparent to Studio Ghibli, makes a decent start with Mary & the Witch's Flower.
Animation is lush and gorgeous to look at, and is very reminiscent of the work we're used to from Studio Ghibli - and as anyone who's familiar with Ghibli's work can tell you, that is a pretty high bar to meet. I saw the English dubbed version, and the voice acting was excellent as well - especially Ruby Barnhill as Mary. Background score was quite good too.
Story, however, was a bit disappointing. Not saying that it was bad, it just felt a bit devoid of heart and there were quite a few plot holes which were hard to overlook. Character motivations were hard to explain, and the wizarding world Mary stumbles into feels empty, though it is supposed to be a thriving world. Then again, I complain because I was expecting something of Ghibli standards.
It was a fun movie to experience, and I'm glad Studio Ponoc exists - not only because I expect bigger and better things from them in the future, but also because something as beautiful as the tradition of Ghibli animated movies needs be kept alive.
7/10

There were a few reasons for wanting to see 'Mary and the Witch's Flower'. Personally am a big lifelong animation and anime fan. The story certainly sounded very charming. It was directed by the same director responsible for 'When Marnie Was There' and 'Arietty', both excellent films (especially the latter). Anything that has Kate Winslet or Jim Broadbent involved with it in any way is also a guaranteed viewing, every bit as much when both are in the same film.
'Mary and the Witch's Flower' is on the whole a good nicely done film with a number of great aspects. Have seen superior animes, and between this, 'When Marnie Was There' and 'Arietty' this is the weakest by quite some margin. While enjoying 'Mary and the Witch's Flower', it did have potential to be great but the uneven storytelling stops that from happening somewhat. Recommendable still, but part of me was a little disappointed.
Its best aspect is the animation, which is gorgeous and never less than that. The attention to detail and lavish colours are a feast, the characters look expressive in a nuanced way and movements and transitions are so seamless. The music also works a lot, very atmospheric and beautifully orchestrated with a nice mix of the understated, the whimsical and the more stirring.
Did find the characters appealing, even if they are not deep. The main character was rootable enough though the supporting characters were more colourful in personality. There is plenty of charm and heart, and the film works best in the simpler, quieter moments. The script is neither too simplistic or too convoluted while the voice cast is top notch, notably Winslet.
However, the story can be too slight and predictable and the final act is on the rushed side.
Also do wish that character motivations were delved into deeper, too many of them were either not clear or basically there with not enough under the surface.
Overall though, worth watching while not being a must see. 7/10.

Didn't look into this film deeply enough to find out it's not a "real" Ghibli, and that didn't impede upon my watch. The animation is beautiful, the characters are visually unique and fun, and the story and setting held my attention the full length of the film. My only complaint would be that this is definitely a movie for kids, and there wasn't any complexity or depth that would make me keen to rewatch this several times. Still a good watch, and one I'd definitely recommend!
Just came back from the one time only screening of this movie in Austin TX. I'm a bit confused by the super-negative reviews of this film. I guess people were expecting a film on par with past Studio Ghibli movies? Lets be real here, as sad as it is, the age of Studio Ghibli is over, unless Hayao Miyazaki decides to return to the directors seat and make another full-length feature film. Which at this point seems unlikely. The fact that we have a studio like Ponoc to carry on the torch of 2D animated projects in the style of Gibli should be celebrated I think.
I went into this movie not expecting it to be on par with any of Studio Ghibli's past works, yes it's no Howl's Moving Castle or Spirited Away. I did enjoy Mary and the Witch's Flower more so than Miyazaki's last two films, The Wind Rises and Ponyo. The only other Hiromasa Yonebayashi films I've seen was Arriety, never saw When Marine Was There. I do think this film is better than Arriety was.
Mary and the Witches Flower looks like a Studio Ghibli film, the character animation is really great, the backgrounds, while reminiscent of past Ghibli works are nice, but not on the same level of detail, which was fine to me. The characters and the story is good, again, not as solid as past Ghibli works, but I enjoyed it overall. The biggest thing lacking to be was a musical score from Joe Hisaishi, but he has never done music for a Hiromasa Yonebayashi film. The last film he composed music for was The Princess Kaguya, which was a big deal.
I'm getting off-track here, but the last I will say is that is if you are a fan of Studio Ghibli, and are yearning to see a full-length feature film in traditional 2D animation, go see this film if you are able to, just don't go in expecting it to be as good as one of the Studio Ghibli classics.

- WissenswertesThe debut film of Studio Ponoc.
- PatzerIt is set in England, but the girl rehearsing arriving at her new but ordinary school bows to the teacher. Maybe normal in Japan, but not in modern Britain.
