Tales from Earthsea
I have read the books and the differences between them and the film was certainly distracting. Nothing stood out for me here except for a list of characters and effects I'd seen before in other Ghibli films. While you may be able to enjoy the film (as Raj did) it certainly doesn't have the impact of some of their other work. I had hoped for an impressive retelling or reinterpretation of Ursula K. Le Guin's work but was definitely disappointed.
