Viewing Notes

Didn’t know this was a thing until it appeared in my inflight choices. Does not feel like a 2020 film esp with all the old tech. Maybe it was set in the mid nineties when the original film came out? Anyways this is severely lacking in what makes the Ghibli film so wonderful. Just a disappointing remake all around.

Also the in system viewing on these United planes absolutely sucks.
