A thoroughly charming sci fi adventure made with obvious love. While TSOTTP lacks the emotional depth of a Miyazaki classic, it's every bit as imaginative, packed with memorably trippy imagery. What's more, it's free of the mawkishness and overbearing cuteness that often mar films aimed at kids.

I think you can say that it has a love message that only a person in whose homeland this cartoon was made can fully understand.
That small kindness can mean so so much even in something big and borderless.
