The line is said and boom, roll credits, all is fine and dandy. It didn't take away too much from the overall experience though. Very glad I watched it!

this... this reminds me of "the cat returns". is it the same character?

btw you'd love "the kingdom of dreams and madness" if you haven't seen it yet-- it's not a super-well-made movie but it follows the last days of studio ghibli and the making of miyazaki's last film.
