great movie, cannot recommend it enough for the entire family

Good movie.i will continue to purchase items from best buy

Was so surprised to find it on Blu-ray. A hidden gem.

Again, another great film coming from the Studio that brought you Spirited Away

Family animated movie from Japanese Studio ghibli.

Well, it's older anime. A bit raw, but good all the same. Buy it!

Wasnt worththe price, guess u have to have certain humor code to watch this

The Blu-ray quality is just like the dvd quality. Not really worth buying unless on sale.

This was by far my least favorite Ghibli movie, it was actually difficult to watch. My girlfriend fell asleep and I think I may have as well.

Japanese Anime often gets a bad rep among those who don't really understand it but if you're looking for something that's really entertaining to watch, I would highly recommend this particular film. In the past, we have had such animated shows as The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Family Guy and American Dad which often takes a sarcastic look at family life and turns it on its ear. However, if you're looking for something that's non-offensive and protrays an accurate depiction of family life, Studio Ghibli's My Neighbors, The Yamadas is a wonderful introduction. Studio Ghibli's release of "My Neighbors, The Yamadas depicts the various scenarios that happen in one particular family and is told in humorous 'comedy skits' that average about three minutes each. Throughout the entire 140 minute film, the viewer is shown an aspect of the life of "The Yamadas" which depict accurate family struggles through child-raising, work-life and what comes naturally to a normal family. While the film is animated in a strange style of art sketches, which are animated. With a cast featuring the likes of David Ogden Stiers (M*A*S*H), James Belushi (Blues Brothers), Dixie Carter (Designing Women), Molly Shannon (Saturday Night Live), Walt Disney went all out for the cast for this animated film. Studio Ghibli has shown a knack for producing quality animated films and is known as the Japanese version of Disney. With a production of films aimed more at the family, they have produced nothing but quality films. The whole film, in its entirety, is quite enjoyable and hilarious and the final closing sketch features the cast forming Doris Day's Que Sera Sera and is a cause for real hilarity. If you're looking for something different, to share with the whole family, I would highly recommend this film. It surely designed to become a classic.

All that needs to be said is that this is a Studio Ghibli movie and thus needs to be watched. Arguably the greatest animation studio and studio in general.

Another great, yet underdiscussed film by Isao Takahashi! Looks great even on DVD!
