In other respects though, the film borrows heavily from Ghibli's previous works, mainly with the characters. As a result It lacks the epic feel of Princess Mononoke or the closure that comes at the end of Spirited Away. It would simply be too much to present in a canvass of its length. In no way could it possibly encompass the magnitude of the Earthsea series, let alone the main events in The Farthest Shore. The movie like the book is a single episode in a much larger tale. As for the story I don't think it stands out as anything great. I'm not saying its not there, just that it seems to mostly be in the background. One thing in particular that I think separates the film setting from that of the books' is the absence of the sea. Le Guin's literary Earthsea, but rather something unique on to itself. However, I wouldn't consider all this to be a faithful representation of Ursula k. A solid score also helps to shape the vibrant world that the movie conveys. While the artistry and animation quality does not entirely measure up to other recent Ghibli studio films, I felt it did create a rich and colorful setting in which the story unfolds. Most notably I was impressed with the studio's visual creation of Earthsea. After watching this film I was pleased with the overall feel and look the production.
