If you want to see everything great about Hayao Miyazaki/ Studio Ghibli films condensed into just six minutes, download this short film.
In that short span it has all his favorite themes: freedom, flight, nature vs. technology, violence vs. human decency. With lovely animation that always, always highlights Miyazaki's focus on movement as design. I watched it once. Then I immediately watched it again. I've never seen this released before, never even heard of it until this week and only then by chance browsing.
What's it about? Two soldiers find find a girl with wings and try to set her free, with time loops and meta-alternative paths for the story to take. No subtitles, because there's no dialogue. Some things you really don't have to have explained.
Save it here: On Your Mark [80 MB]
Or watch it streaming here: www.megavideo.com/?v=AM8BG1HW
I highly recommend you watch or download it, whether you're into animation or not, whether you're into anime or not. It's only 6 minutes of your day, and it will make you smile and warm your heart. Miyazaki films embody a great sense of joy and wonder, so go on and treat yourself.
