Description

Whisper of the Heart is a 1995 Japanese animated coming-of-age film directed by Yoshifumi Kondō and written by Hayao Miyazaki. The film tells the story of a young girl named Shizuku Tsukishima who discovers her love for writing and meets a boy named Seiji Amasawa who dreams of becoming a luthier. As they become friends and inspire each other to pursue their passions, they also face the challenges of growing up and figuring out their place in the world.

The film is notable for its realistic portrayal of everyday life in Tokyo, as well as its emphasis on the importance of pursuing one's dreams and finding one's own path in life. It features a memorable soundtrack by Yuji Nomi and includes several songs in English, including "Take Me Home, Country Roads" by John Denver.

Whisper of the Heart was a critical and commercial success in Japan, and is considered one of the most beloved films in the Studio Ghibli catalog. Although it was not directed by Miyazaki himself, it is often cited as one of his most personal and heartfelt works, reflecting his own experiences as a young artist and his belief in the power of imagination and creativity.

Painted in black and white, the story of Frankenweenie began in 1984 when Tim Burton co-produced with Disney short animated film Frankenweenie. It was a funny story about the adventures of beloved dog, revived from the dead by young scientist Victor Frankenstein. In 2012 it is the time for big adventure of Frankenweenie. This time it is a full length animated film harnessed with the latest technology and modern cinematic art.he creation plan of this film was born back in 2005, but Tim's timeline was totally filled up with the creation of the hilarious Alice in Wonderland, and Frankenweenie was postponed for an indefinite period of time. However, this did not prevent its creators to sharpen heart touching storyline, and even more: the modern CGI technology helped to create the Frankenweenie, as we saw him in 2012. Despite he is black and white - this dog is probably one of the most complex animated creatures in the history of animation. Tim Burton and his team had to bring the Swiss watchmakers to create sophisticated models of Frankenweenie: more than 200 animated dolls stuffed with tiny mechanisms. But as a result we have a cool animated storyline taking place in another one surreal universe created by Tim Burton.he film has turned to be exciting, touching and a bit naive. However, it is this naivety creates the special atmosphere, due to which even the idea of resurrection of the dog through the electricity with a needle and thread, seems to be completely normal and logical.
