"Grave of the Fireflies" on TCM in November

[Mark Holtz]

I think I just scooped Anime News Network (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com) by finding this on Turner Classic Movies (US) website...

November 12th @ 10 PM ET/7 PM PT - Grave of the Fireflies (1988) A boy and his little sister struggle to survive World War II in Japan. Cast: J. Robert Spencer, Rhoda Chrosite, Veronica Taylor. Dir: Isao Takahata. C-88 mins, , Letterbox Format

This is a very recommended film. However, it is also a very depressing film considering the setting and that it is semi-autobiographical.

*Smirk* It wasn't until today that ANN noticed the movie on TCM's schedule.

This is a great movie to show people who think that animation is just kiddie stuff.

Break out the tissues; you'll need it.

Good catch, Mark -- *smirk* all you want -- you've got every right! :p

Say, how 'bout giving us a heads up in Nov., since my EPG doesn't go
out that far into the dark, murky unknown of an uncertain future life. ;)

I cant bear to watch that movie anymore. Its just the saddest movie I've ever ever seen.

A bump to remind people.

Is it in English or is it subtitled?

As far as I am aware, it will be broadcast dubbed.
