One of the best and underrated studio Ghibli movies ever

@ianmpena 91

why am i already crying in the trailer, this is so underrated...

@joshuabrooks4112 2

I honestly am tearing up watching this trailer. This was the last movie I ever watched with my daddy before he unexpectedly died in 2020. This movie holds me in a way that feels like how he used to. Very good movie, highly recommend watching it. Definitely gonna go see this movie alone in theaters and try not to cry! Haha.
