My heart almost ‘spoded and my pants were almost peed in when I saw the news that Studio Ghibli was releasing a new film based on the old novel, The Borrowers. And then I read that Hayao Miyazaki wasn’t directing this one, so my heart stopped yammering in my chest and I put the emergency roll of toilet paper away. Then I remembered that I was never really a fan of The Borrowers because as cool as their life was as miniature people ingenious enough to create a lifestyle around ginormous human sized items, the book was really boring.

Miyazaki and I just have great taste in young adult literature, like Diana Wynne Jones. He just needs to make a fantasy animated version of Emily of New Moon (BEST BOOK EVER) and then I’ll be set for life.

Here’s the trailer for the new Miyazaki movie, Ponyo on a Cliff by the Sea AND OMG I WANT TO SEE IT SO BAD. The art seems a little different this time, but that’s alright, because everything Studio Ghibli does is geniusĀ  and I’m a rabid fan like that. I’m already learning the theme song by heart.

Who wants to go watch Spirited Away again for what will be my 20th time? How about a whole Miyazaki marathon weekend? We’ll end it with Grave of the Fireflies and eat dirt balls for fun. YAY!

Po-nyo po-nyo po-nyo!
