...wants to become a little girl. In this very loose retelling of The Little Mermaid - really, a dream triggered by a distant memory of the Hans Christian Andersen tale - we see her and her dozens of sisters navigating Miyazaki's notion of the sea. The director doesn't bother much with the usual cartoon bubbles; he trusts the blue-green palette, the gentle undulating of the creatures and the haunting buoyancy of Jo Hisaishi's score to establish the location with the waves of a watery wand.

(Though as a former Dungeons & Dragons aficionado, I feel bound to point out that crossbows do not fire arrows; they fire bolts or quarrels.) What bothers me is that The Gargoyle is a hymn to the power of love to triumph over time. Love triumphs over time only in romance novels. In literature, as in life, it goes the other way around.
