Tales from Earthsea 2006
Based on Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea series, Goro Miyazaki's Tales from Earthsea is an unbearably tedious and brutally dull epic fantasy that remains a stain on Ghibli's relatively immaculate run of loveable films.

There are numerous ways to analyze the film in-depth, like every work of Carpenter's, but it all comes down to a badass car- and I am not complaining. The…
