Lantern returns with Studio Ghibli’s ‘Marnie’

Dan Webster

Word finally comes that when the Magic Lantern reopens, on Friday July 3, the theater will screen the Studio Ghibli animated feature "When Marnie Was There."

Called by some the studio's "last planned feature," the movie joins a long list of Studio Ghibli film such as "Princess Mononoke," "My Neighbor Totoro," "Grave of the Fireflies" and, my favorite, "Spirited Away."

From Entertainment Weekly: "(T)though its bulky script (based on a British ghost story) keeps it from the magnificent heights of the studio’s classics, the animation is dazzling."
