YESSSS!!!
I've been waiting to see this film again [after missing the first 10 min]. I want to pre-order a copy for myself. I already have it on my list of things for the collection. I really enjoyed this film.

September is a long way off. Can't wait until the pre-order listing start.

Dreamy! I've been excited about this one! The trailers make it look so magical and touching. I definitely wanna check it out.

Momo was really hammy. Talk about groan worthy drama crammed into the third act... It wasn't bad, but just because it's I.G. and it deals kind of with some issues, people will over praise the hell out of it.

I was really, really, really disappointed with Letter to Momo. I guess if I knew it was just going to be some slapstick kids movie (executed quite incompetently) then I wouldn't have disliked it as much as I saw it. Why would somebody spend seven years on that?

I agree on Megiddo and walw6pK4Alo that it is not an exceptional movie. I heard some reviews claiming that it was the next Spirited Away (Shocked), which is ludicrous for such competently executed but still rather average movie. I rated it good because I was very impressed with the animation and despite it's flaws I still think it was worth watching. Never expect a great movie.

I guess that people should spend their money on something else. Among recent anime films I really liked Hosoda's Wolf Children and Shinkai's Children Who Chased Lost Voices. From Up on Poppy Hill was also better than A Letter to Momo.

Might have a chance to win the Oscars then. Very Happy

Like others, I'll be adding both A Letter To Momo and From Up On Poppy Hill to my collection come September. I still regret not seeing the latter when it briefly made a theatrical appearance in my area a few months ago.

All this Ghibli being released! A Letter to Momo? From Up on Poppy Hill? A My Neighbor Totoro Blu-Ray?

*The next day, partysmores' wallet was found in a dark alley, blood-stained and drained of all cash.*
