		<description><![CDATA[Anime (Japanese animation), in the U.S. at least, has always been a niche format. I&#8217;m not sure why it&#8217;s been so hard for American audiences to embrace it, but it&#8217;s probably because a) the style is reminiscent of Saturday morning cartoons (ie-&#8221;crappy&#8221;) and b) years of ridiculous dubbing have made it a running joke (&#8220;NO! NNNNNNN&#8230; IDON&#8217;TWANTOTOGOWITHYOUWAITWHATAREYOUDOINGNNNNNYAAAAH!&#8221;) Over the last few years, Disney&#8217;s been trying to bridge the cultural divide with their U.S. releases of Studio Ghibli/Hayao Miyazaki films Spirited &#8220;I won an Oscar&#8221; Away, Princess Mononoke and Howls&#8217; Moving Castle. The anime&#8211; a shorthand animation technique that differs from American animation style in that it uses less frames for movement and its trademark minimalist facial animation&#8211; is obviously still there , but the dubbing has been painstakingly created to feel both natural and actually sync with what&#8217;s being seen on screen. The results are fantastic, and if you can &#8220;get past the style&#8221;, these films offer up heart, incredible visuals and detailed transport into fresh, &#8220;weird&#8221; and charmingly fantastical worlds. The latest Ghibli/Disney stateside release is Ponyo (originally released in 2008 in Japan as Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea). Due in U.S. theaters in August, Ponyo is Hayao Miyazaki&#8217;s take on The Little Mermaid, which you&#8217;d never know by watching the trailer below. The U.S. release also includes a heft dollop of real voice talent, including Liam Neeson, Matt Damon and Cat Blanchett. Anime may not be for everyone, but if there&#8217;s any anime to test the waters with, it&#8217;s Studio Ghibli&#8217;s stuff fresh-faced takes on avoiding the often loud and busy narrative style of their American animation counterparts.]]></description>
