Notes
A film was number 1 aforethought as a short inside-flight picture show for Japan Airlines based on Hayao Miyazaki's manga The Age of the Flying Boat, but grew into the feature-length film. A irruption of war in Yugoslavia cast the shadow above production & prompted a other good tone for the motion-picture show, which originally experienced been placed inside Croatia. the airline remained a major trader around the film, & showed it as an in-flight flick swell prior to its theatrical release.

Technically, a film shows Studio Ghibli's almost maniac attention for particulars, when regards a animation & a historical Italian elements (although some Italian words come shown misspelled in the local newspaper of Milan).
