. In Japan, it beat the record set by Titanic for box office receipts. Hewitt meticulously translated the movie, making sure that Japanese cultural references made sense, and matching words to lip movements in the idiotic way that Americans dub movies
Chicago Sun-Times: Spirited Away
. It is the best animated film of recent years, the latest work by, the Japanese master who is a god to the Disney animators. Because many adults have an irrational reluctance to see an animated film from Japan (or anywhere else), I begin with reassurances: It has been flawlessly dubbed into English by ("Toy Story"), it was co-winner of this year's Berlin Film Festival against "regular" movies, it passed "" to become the top-grossing film in Japanese history, and it is the first film ever to make more than $200 million before opening in America. Don't avoid it because of what you think you know about animation from Japan. Japanese myths often use shape-shifting, in which bodies reveal themselves as facades concealing a deeper reality. Miyazaki's drawing style, which descends from the classical Japanese graphic artists, is a pleasure to regard, with its subtle use of colors, clear lines, rich detail and its realistic depiction of fantastical elements
Anime Versus American Animation
mparative essay regarding two distinguished forms of animated media.
Anime versus American Animation Thesis Statement This is my thesis statement -- while American animation and Japanese animation both have their virtues, the style of American animation, in general, has a significant amount of higher quality. On the other hand, in Japan, anime has been allowed to flourish all over. Comparatively, its Japanese cousin has hundreds. The American form of animation has not had its techniques advanced through as many stages or been perfected as much as Japanese anime has. This would lead some to the conclusion that Japanese animation is inherently better than American animation; a false conclusion that I will dissect piece by piece as we go on. Any animation project cannot be a flop or else (as in showbiz terms) so-and-so "will never work in this town again!" Compare this to all that garbage floating around in Japan. Of course, it will be a while before animators are given the freedom and creativity that have made the Japanese successful for the last decade
