and it’s not even close.
this family comedy was so special to me during my childhood— I remember so many of the shenanigans in such vivid detail. the drama is hilarious when you’re a kid and probably even more hilarious when you’re an adult. one of my fav scenes is the mom telling everyone about the snow outside but no one is even paying attention bc of this thing they’re watching on tv— ik my description is not making it sound all that funny but it just reminded me so much of my family dynamics.
anyway idt I’ve ever heard ANYONE recommend this movie outside of the family who showed it to me, but it’s probably my favorite ghibli film after spirited away. would love to know if anyone else enjoyed this movie!!
(okay whisper of the heart is pretty good though)
