Here's a trailer for a Japanese movie. It looks a bit like Pan's Labyrinth, but with monsters from Japanese folklore like the Kappa. I'm hoping that the Kappa play a large part in the plotline, as they are a pretty bizarre creature.

Yeah, that's an excellent site for understanding the other worldly creatures of Japan! It really helped me to understand the Jizo character in Japanese culture and in Ghibli's films...it's a great treasure trove! That film looks unearthly and awesome!

It looks good however it looks like the old style films and like Monkey Magic and the Kung Fu Films, I liked Kung Fu Hustle and Shaolin Soccer effects more however it looks good!
