Hmmm, 
I am not sure if we have talked about this film ...
Anyway, just some info (since the movie is out, but not the DVD) ...

Goro Miyazaki (father is Hayao Miyazaki) anime ... Tales from Earthsea (Gedo Senki) is based on Ursula K. LeGuin's Earthsea Series ...

Box office ... the film reached #1 at the Japanese Box Office on its opening week and reached #4 top grossing movie for the year in Japan ...

Critics ... gave it the "Worst Film" in Japan's version of Razzie Awards ...

From what I have read from a few websites ...
-- Story telling is weak; lots of frightening scenes
-- Artwork and Music/Soundtrack is great ...
