I couldn't quite get into this Ghibli. Yes it is beautiful to look at, but the story is just so simple, so straightforward and low on the kind of suspense you would expect from being transported into a world of tiny people, that it all just seemed to swim by nonchalantly. A shame as there was a lot of potential for this to be a classic, to me at least, but then I guess that is also it's charm, that it doesn't feel the need to serve up twists and drama, but to be content amongst the little things.
