Anna Paquin and James Van Der Beek??!!
I'm not an expert on robots in film, but the ones in Iron Giant and Wild Robot look quite a bit like this one... Maybe there are only so many robot designs.
Similar to Nausicaä, the art is very pretty, and the general vibe is super relaxing. I fell asleep again, so it took me a few sessions to get through the whole thing. I guess I find the Miyazaki universe calming. They're like lullabies on film.
The overall plot didn't really hook me. I think I just prefer scoundrels, because all of my favorite parts were Dola and the pirates. "All good pirates listen to their mom!" I also liked the robot and Muska's little tie. Sheeta and Pazu were fine, but they're the least interesting part. Wholesome teens in the middle of a caper?!
