‘Mary And The Witch’s Flower’: Charming, beautifully animated, and very ‘Ghibli’

Mary And The Witch's Flower looks like a Studio Ghibli film. It feels like one, and sounds like one. Like many of Ghibli’s films, it is also based on a children’s book by a female author.

But it is not a Studio Ghibli film.
