While $16.7 million is perhaps not that impressive at first glance measured against some of the big budget animated films , it is actually the best performance so far for one of the Disney-released Studio Ghibli films in North America. The fact that it was made for a relatively modest $23 million means that the 2D Arrietty has done spectacular business in the worldwide market.Ghibli fannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-60363692601599762702012-03-05T08:49:25.717-08:002012-03-05T08:49:25.717-08:00Hey Mr. Guy Who Hates Rango, how do you feel about...Hey Mr. Guy Who Hates Rango, how do you feel about Rango winning the Best Animated Feature Oscar, EEEEHHHH?Dan Sicilianonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-61139295535901238102012-03-04T11:23:49.768-08:002012-03-04T11:23:49.768-08:00The story and characterizations are weak, but the ...<i>The story and characterizations are weak, but the design, artistry and technical ability are outstanding, easily blowing away crap like rango.</i><br /><br />Hey, the guy that hates Rango's back!
