Mono no aware<\/em>: Steven Greydanus on the trailer for Tales of Earthsea<\/em><\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Here is a mainstream Japanese animated film with a trailer that has an evocative, haunting power that eludes virtually the whole of American animation\u2014and that\u2019s just the trailer. And it\u2019s not just American animation either, but pretty much the whole Hollywood machine. What was the last Hollywood box-office blockbuster that made you think of beauty, loss, longing and mystery? (Yes, other than The Lord of the Rings.)<\/p>\n

Whether this particular film turns out to be good or not, it\u2019s part of a cinematic culture that aims at, and sometimes achieves, something that isn\u2019t even on the radar in Hollywood. This trailer reminds me of how I felt during the first five minutes of Howl\u2019s Moving Castle, even though the film ultimately turned out to be a disappointment: Just the promise of the first five minutes, even a promise unfulfilled, was worth more than some American animation studios have delivered in whole films if not their entire outputs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
