Review of Earwig and the Witch (2021) by Nkuk — 04 Feb 2021
Most obviously this doesn't look like a Ghibli film, it looks like your average low budget Saturday morning kids-channel animation. The 3D animation looks off, flat and oddly shaded, it has a kind of "uncanny valley" look that I just couldn't get over. The story isn't much better, and isn't interesting or charming or captivating like the Ghibli classics.
I really hope Studio Ghibli continue with their wonderful hand-drawn animation that they are famed and loved for. I think if they continue down this dull CGI path they will end up as just another anonymous CGI animation studio and will throw away what made the studio so famous.
