If you watch this movie, don't watch it by yourself. If your not the sort of person who spends time contemplating the mysteries of life, you will not enjoy this movie. The pacing is extremely slow and thoughtful.

This movie is definitely not for everyone. The first time I watched this movie I had to see it in two parts because my friend got sick of it after the first half. Mature and thoughtful, if sometimes a little slow. It's something no country but Japan would try, and the ending is so powerful it really does make the journey worth it. This film is presented in chapters, which I think may be a better way to digest it. The animation is calm in both colours and movement. The imagery is often surreal but always memorable. Each story strengthens the themes of religion and sacrifice. This film is certainly all about the metaphysical. From there the duo encounter a number of passengers each with a strange story to tell. He gets on and finds his friend Campenella. He rests on top of a hill before being confronted by a train. One evening the family's delivery of milk never comes, so Giovanni goes to get it. His father is away, his mother is sick, and when he isn't at school he has to work. We follow a young cat (changed from human in the original book) called Giovanni. It deals with some incredibly deep themes, as well as having a slow meditative pace. Night on the Galactic Railroad isn't your traditional family film.
