Their reply was:
The Earthsea anime film is very odd; some of the backdrops are beautiful, the dragons are spectacular, but the plot is ... bizarre is the kindest interpretation. There's a picture of the dragon on the poster, here (http://www.ghibli.jp/images/ged_poster01.jpg), but I think the version in the film was better.
I have to admit, despite everything, I'm really looking forward to The Hobbit film. We probably won't get Cumberbatch's Smaug until film 3, though.
