Nemo (1984 Pilot) - Directed by Studio Ghibli’s Yoshifumi Kondô
This short was a test for the later feature length film Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland. According to Wikipedia, at least three pilot films were made before the actual feature film. This appears to be the first, back when Studio Ghibli was more heavily involved on the project
Holy shit.
I will never get over how good the animation in this is. I mean, wow. The Nemo film is just as visually stunning, but the hacked voice over and severe story and pacing problems still irk me. They had a lot of problems when making it so I understand why it happened, but it still knocks it down the awesome-ometer a few pegs.
This, on the other hand, is just perfection. Cohesive, fluid, succinct. Do yourself a favour and press play.

Holy crap, what with this and Journey I am seriously thinking of saving up for a PS3.
Also is there anything that Level 5 has made that isn’t solid gold?

I just watched this. It’s magical! Here is a link to watch if you are interested. (The link is with Japanese audio and English subs; the Disney dub will come out in 2012)
Ahhh, finally watched it. Every new Studio Ghibli film is like a breath of fresh air. I cannot wait to see this on the big screen (February!?!??!).
Now I am on a mad hunt for the soundtrack. Surprisingly not by Hisaishi, but it was absolutely gorgeous.

Oh my goooodddd I just watched it and I am covered in tears of WONDER AND AWE AND LOVE.
Ghibli why are you so beautiful, it hurts.
