That said, I hope “Earwig” is not a harbinger of a new age of CGI films that are more shine and pixels than soul and sketches. Things must inevitably change one Miyazaki makes room for another. And yet, Studio Ghibli, as piloted by Hayao Miyazaki, became a history-maker in the animation universe.

There are bright colors and spirited music and a solid English dub cast (Richard E. Like Pixar on steroids, “Earwig” doesn’t look remotely Ghibli, instead like an overly glossed, digital scrim laid over a narrative that reaches for the fantastical. But in foregoing the hand-drawn animations, Ghibli has lost whimsy and character. The younger Miyazaki has referred to this as a move into the future. “Earwig” is the studio’s first entirely computer-animated feature. For one, it’s the abundance of red herrings in this fleeting 82-minute feature connections and relationships are implied (and a plot point about a witchy rock band flies by) but end up leading to dead ends, making the journey feel incomplete.īut the most regrettable part is the animation.

“Earwig and the Witch” brought many other stories to my mind: a bit of “Little Orphan Annie” and “The Little Princess,” a stretch of “Pippi Longstocking,” a parcel of “Kiki’s Delivery Service.” And yet the story, adapted from the novel by Diana Wynne Jones (whose work has also been tackled by Ghibli in my personal favorite, “Howl’s Moving Castle”), feels vacant. Earwig, whose own mother was a witch, is used to being the boss lady with her perilously arched eyebrows and pigtails perched like devil horns on top of her head, she typically charms and manipulates her way to her goals but is stumped by her new surroundings. And yet Ghibli’s latest, directed by Goro Miyazaki, son of famed animator Hayao Miyazaki, uses ingredients from the tried-and-true Ghibli recipe while serving a film that lacks the heart the studio has always brought to its best.Ī headstrong orphan girl named Earwig gets adopted by a witch named Bella Yaga (Baba’s cousin, perhaps?) and a reclusive demon writer named Mandrake only to serve as the equivalent of a sorcery sous chef, prepping ingredients for spells, doing dishes and mopping floors.

Texas-based actress Taylor Paige Henderson voices the title character in the English-language version of the new animated film 'Earwig and the Witch.' The film was made by the legendary Japanese animation company Studio Ghibli.
