An absolutely beautiful film. Having read the book myself, I really expected the film to dissapoint, but it's very good! Several scenes in the movies brought me to tears. I also love the brotherly relationship between Giovanni and Campanella, between someone who's poor and one who is wealthy. Lovely movie, and I definitely reccomend it!

This animation, based off of a children's book written by Kenji Miazawa is an extaordinarily deep, and very fetching movie. Pulling in elements of Soren Kirkegaard's philosophies on life, death, the afterlife and alienation in life makes it more interesting to view, not as an animation, but a kind stroll through the mind. I first recieved the movie as a present, after pining for its intriguing use of... Furries, I fell in love with its touching beauty, slow pace, and the pure blindness that we have when trying to comprehend what, by nature, we aren't supposed to. Giovanni's blindness to what really happened to Campanella, or his refusal to see what happened and where he was, shows us more about ourselves than most people would get. Sometimes ignorance is bliss, and sometimes letting go is hard, but once we see the true beauty in death, we can learn to let go, and ultimately enjoy what time we have, not with just our friends, but with ourselves as well.

This film is pretty, but it is SLOW. Very, very slow. Could pass as mellow but really I ended up putting it in fast forward. Altogether too much of it is one character looking at another, looking forward, out the window, then back again. SLLLOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW.

This is a breathtaking, courageous film, that is probably also the saddest and most emotional animation I have ever seen. The pacing is deliberate and there is an abundance of spiritual themes from friendship, happiness to loss and sacrifice. The images, words, and music will stick with me for a long time to come.

Beloved Japanese poet Kenji Miyazawa's most famous work, Night on the Galactic Railroad, seems to have slipped through most cracks, and is now criminally unheard of outside of Japan (as is Kenji Miyazawa himself). But, for me, this animated adaptation sits easily among the greatest children's movies ever made. While any synopsis is doomed to miss the point: young Giovanni is unexpectedly whisked away on a ghostly, space-faring locomotive, and undergoes something of a journey. Due to the movie's deliberate, contemplative pace, most kids would find it unspeakably boring, as I fear would most adults... Nonetheless, this is a powerful, transfixing, dreamy masterpiece, rich with psychedelic details and memorable scenes. Ghibli's Only Yesterday now has a serious competitor for the title of My Favorite Animated Movie Ever.
