Wow!

Anyone that knows me knows that I am a big fan of animation, be it CGI-based stuff like Shrek and Ice Age, Flash based stuff like Foamy (http://www.illwillpress.com/) and Brackenwood (http://www.biteycastle.com/), traditional stuff like Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse, combos (such as they are today) like Lion King and Little Mermaid, or Anime (Japanese Animation, for those unfamiliar with the term) like Cowboy Bebop and Escaflowne.  Most of you already know also that I'm not a big follower on particular individuals or creators.  There are two big exceptions, though, in terms of studios that Disney works with:  Pixar, whom everyone knows for everything from Toy Story to the most recent Wall-E and Up, and Studio Ghibli, whom fans will know from Grave of the Fireflies, Princess Mononoke, and Kiki's Delivery Service.  This movie is the latest from that studio, and I look forward to seeing it.  (Hopefully, they'll bring it to Rockford - I'd hate to have to wait for it to hit video!)
