I like to say: Don't remake good movies, remake bad movies.
After the amazing 1984 version that is still being watched today, with songs being sung generation after generation, why create a new version?
Adding upon that the anime by Gibli, and the Netflix version felt unnecessary.
But having seen the first part now I change my mind. The Netflix version feels authentic - the environments, the characters, the music. I feel like I am back in the Mattis Woods again with old friends, but this time I get to see more.
There is always an autoimmune reflex when they mess with something that defines ones childhood - Who is that character? What is happening now? Voffo gör di på dette viset? But that passes and soon it is a delight to dwell into this expanded universe.
I had a great time watching this first part. Hopefully the next part comes soon.
