My Thoughts
Windaria (a.k.a. Once Upon A Time) is an excellent movie! The story is well-written. Just make sure to have a box of tissues next to you while you watch it, because this movie is depressing. It's also kind of a cult classic. I've spoken to people who aren't that interested in anime, yet they heard of this movie and love it. It was good enough to get a DVD release over here.
Buy From Amazon
You can buy this movie from Amazon. It goes for around $200-300 (US) - wow. Just download it lol.
