Le Guin’s disappointment in Gedo Senki

While Studio Ghibli’s Gedo Senki (Tales from Earthsea) continues its impressive reign at the top of the Japanese box office for a third successive week (staving off challenges from the likes of Pirates of the Caribbean), Ursula K. Le Guin (author of the original Earthsea novels) has posted up her own some-what disappointed review of the movie in which she communicates her regret that Gedo Senki wasn’t directed by Hayao Miyazaki, along the way highlighting her fascinating experiences and interactions with the world famous anime studio.
