...from high above, with blocks of clouds marked A to D - an instruction to the assembly line to animate them in that sequence, at a speed carefully specified on one of the clouds.

The image falls somewhere between reality and magic, which was probably the intention. "There is reality in the fantasy created by Studio Ghibli," says Ryusuke Hikawa, an animé critic for over three decades. "But their message is that daily life...

Playing wide on the right, Schweini made a terrific diagonal run across the field to meet Lukas Podolski's cross at the near post at 22 minutes, with Portugal's Paulo Ferreira unable to match his pace.
