The lenti is awesome. Has anyone seen this movie. Is it good?
It's very famous in Japan and regarded as a landmark anime. It's definitely charming and the characters and designs are all lovely. However, it's also very very old-school, so it moves at its own sort of pace and does come off being a bit naive nowadays. I find it tonally similar to Mysterious Cities of Gold, but with Jules Verne instead of the whole Mayan/Incan/Aztec thing. Disney's Atlantis also ripped off a lot of stuff from it as well.

The staff are pretty impressive too. The show was created by Hayao Miyazaki, but I don't think he ever worked on it other than coming up with the idea. The director, Hideaki Anno, and character designer, Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, would later go on to make Evangelion.
