My Neighbours The Yamadas: The Studio Ghibli Collection (Optimum)

Synopsis

A stylistic departure for Studio Ghibli, with writer-director Isao Takahata using digital production to create the feeling of a moving watercolour sketch. My Neighbours The Yamadas follows the exploits of the Yamada family, Takahata charts the day-to-day life of husband and wife Takashi and Matsuko who, along with their two children, their dog and Matsuko's live-in mother, navigate the pitfalls of modern life to often comic effect.

Featuring the voices of Jim Belushi, David Ogden Stiers and Molly Shannon, The Yamadas is a one-of-a-kind comic treat.
