Actually a solid ghibli film but then you have the annoying ass dad.
He's suppose to be stubborn but he's not stubborn in a fun way, he's just an asshole.
Like i think you genuinely should get away from kids if you ever think of slapping them even if they are being a brat.
I mean...i geuss it was normal maybe at the time of movies release but i still find it so fucking strange.
Anyway the dad fucking sucks but the rest of the film was pretty good.
