15 People Share Their Opinions on Studio Ghibli’s Trailer for Their First-Ever 3D CGI Movie “Earwig and the Witch.”
Different people, different opinions.
Studio Ghibli fans had plenty to say when the studio dropped the trailer for Earwig and the Witch, its first-ever 3D CGI feature. For a company built on hand-drawn magic, the shift alone was enough to spark debate.
The movie, directed by Goro Miyazaki and adapted from Diana Wynne Jones’ children’s book, follows a bold young witch and marks a major change in style for the studio. That also put Goro under a brighter spotlight, especially with Hayao Miyazaki’s legacy hanging over every reaction.
Some viewers were ready to embrace the experiment, while others were not impressed at all. Here’s what people thought after seeing the trailer.
