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.

Animation & Cartoons
Ralf is a lonesome antagonist from arcade video game Fix-It Felix Jr. He is nine-foot-tall, 643-pound anti-hero whose goal is to crash everything that main protagonist Fix-It Felix fixes. Ralf is representing the "Evil Forces" for almost 30 years and tired to be just a number two in the shadow of Fix-It Felix success. In his desperation, Ralph decides to break up with the arcade and escapes thru the power cord out to the world of other video games where he hopes to prove himself as a true hero. His first stop is first person shooter Hero's Duty, where he meets cold-blooded and tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun fighting with Cy-Bugs invading her planet. After Ralph helps Calhoun to get rid of the alien invasion he finds himself in the thick of things boiling in racing video game Sugar Rush, where encounters Vanellope von Schweetz facing serious troubles and the only person to help her is Ralph. Initially Disney was planning to name the movie Joe Jump or Reboot Ralph, but at the time when whole conception was assembled, the 3D animated story was decided to rename in Wreck-it-Ralf as the same name arcade game. Wreck-it-Ralf is full of gimmicks, spoofs, allusions and allegories – you will be pleased to meet here the orange colored little ghost from Packman, a Zombie and lots of others funny villains from 30 years old videogames. You should add here the astonishingly matching voices of John C. Reilly, Jane Lynch, Sarah Silverman in perfect combination with soundtracks of Flo Rida (remember 'Good Feeling'?) and all what you get is another Disney's unquestionable success.
