One benefit of MOMA membership - free (or very cheap) movie tickets! This retrospective overlapped with the NY Asian Film Fest held by Subway Cinema. I'm glad the MOMA held this series, but I was disappointed by the errors in the series brochure regarding whether films were subtitled or dubbed. Disney was the corporate sponsor, and as you may know, Disney distributes Studio Ghibli's films in the US. Bah, dubbed movies.
Anime consistently proves that you can tell a serious story through animation. It's just something beyond the grasp of American studios.
