Children Who Chase Lost Voices

Here's a film doing its level best to evoke Studio Ghibli. A lonely young girl, Asuna, follows a strange tune from her crystal radio into a hidden world. There, Asuna discovers not only the mythical land of Agartha but the pains of both love and loss. It's pretty and a decent homage, if nothing else.
