I was skeptical of this movie at first because of the screen shots I had seen on the internet. Since Miyazaki created so many great movies, I went ahead and bought tickets and drove 4 hours to the nearest theater playing it anyway. I am so glad I did, and I can't wait for the DVD release. The pics I saw did not do the art in this movie justice. The artistic style of this movie is different from his other movies, but still wonderful. It was creative, beautiful, and original. Plus, the story and characters are amazing as usual. Go see this movie.
