Why is Tales From Earthsea so disliked? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! For those of you who don't know, Tales From Earthsea is a Studio Ghibli movie. However, the criticisms for it are generally pretty harsh. There are a few people who love it, but generally it's pretty disliked. People say its pacing is weird, it doesn't make sense, and it's nothing like the books. Although that last criticism may be accurate, the movie doesn't have to be like the books. The pacing may be a little off, but almost everything is explained throughout the movie. Every Ghibli movie has some loose ends as it is, and Tales From Earthsea is just as beautifully animated as other Ghibli works. Perhaps people just don't like how much it strayed from the books, and perhaps other people are upset because it was directed by Hayao Miyazaki's son instead of Hayao himself. I've been watching a lot of Ghibli movies recently, and I can personally say that there isn't much of a difference between Tales From Earthsea and other movies. It still has good heart, a good message, a strong story, and wonderful animation. I do have a small problem with the somewhat odd pacing, but really there's no reason to be so harsh when criticizing this movie. It can be a classic just like the others, and it has its fans as well. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
