Set in Yokohama in 1963, this lovingly hand-drawn film centers on Umi (voiced by Sarah Bolger) and Shun (voiced by Anton Yelchin) and the budding romance that develops as they join forces to save their high school’s ramshackle clubhouse from demolition. Review: A worthwhile buy - I recently got this title to add to my studio Ghibli collection as we are huge fans. Earth Sea, by Goro Miyasaki, took a while to grow on me - but I now opt to see it often for its interesting story line, marvellously drawn witch and beautiful dragon. Poppy Hill was utterly different, both in its setting and music. However, the graphics were up to the usual Ghibli standard and the music was utterly delightful, being a mixture of jazz in parts and lyrical piano in the Joe Hisayshi vein elsewhere. From a western perspective the joy is in the little details of homelike, food and school activities in 1960s Japan at the time of the Tokyo Olympics. A gentle film with a reassuring message of youngsters striving to maintain their traditions and heritage. Though it is not in the Ghibli fantasy genre, I would highly recommend buying the blue ray version as it also comes with extras including a marvellous comparative view of old and new Yokohama. I am now about to buy the marvellous soundtrack! Review: Rewatchable, underrated Ghibli gem. - This Ghibli offering is imbued with a sense of 'departed reality', which could be seen as nostalgia, but I don't think that it's as simple as that. One of the great things about these Miyazaki films (Hideo's lasting legacy) is the pleasure of minute observation. This is integrated into the storyline in a seamless way that is in itself very satisfying- its the real film maker's craft and you'll find it here in spades. If you liked 'Whisper of the Heart' then this is a development of the themes of personal development within the matrix of a bumpy love story but without the high art themes found in the earlier film. It's more down to earth with some historical concerns. It has great, well observed characters and some deeply felt moments. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Atsushi Okui, Chizuru Takahashi, Geoffrey Wexler, Goro Miyazaki, Hayao Miyazaki, Keiko Niwa, Tetsurô Sayama, Toshio Suzuki Contributor Atsushi Okui, Chizuru Takahashi, Geoffrey Wexler, Goro Miyazaki, Hayao Miyazaki, Keiko Niwa, Tetsurô Sayama, Toshio Suzuki See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,272 Reviews | | Language | English, Japanese | | Manufacturer | Studiocanal | | Number of discs | 2 | | Runtime | 1 hour and 32 minutes | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Colour - **Language:** English, Japanese - **Number of discs:** 2 - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 32 minutes ## Images ![From Up On Poppy Hill - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81VBFG6JfAL.jpg) ![From Up On Poppy Hill - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91kmnywDd+L.jpg) ![From Up On Poppy Hill - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/910MR3XfoLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A worthwhile buy *by A***N on 22 March 2014* I recently got this title to add to my studio Ghibli collection as we are huge fans.

One of the great things about these Miyazaki films (Hideo's lasting legacy) is the pleasure of minute observation. This is integrated into the storyline in a seamless way that is in itself very satisfying- its the real film maker's craft and you'll find it here in spades.

It's more down to earth with some historical concerns. It has great, well observed characters and some deeply felt moments. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A simply wonderful film. *by S***R on 27 September 2013* This is about as far from an action film as you can get. However, there are plenty of other productions which will give you as much action and fantasy as you want, whereas a story which simply portrays the lives of ordinary Japanese people with such charm and sensitivity is quite rare, and few do it better than Ghibli. The plot centres around the activities of various young people, and their attempts to prevent their old clubhouse from being demolished to make way for a new one. The children are perceptively observed and inhabit a rich environment of beautiful artwork with marvellous attention to detail. There is considerable humour in this story, and some fascinating observations of ordinary Japanese culture. Do they really keep vegetables under the floorboards? The screenplay and direction is gentle and sympathetic and the apparently unremarkable story is raised out of the mundane by good dialogue and believable characters, whilst a romantic relationship with a twist develops between the two main protagonists. Needless to say, this charming film is quite suitable for all ages. Studio Ghibli has done it again. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/53137306-from-up-on-poppy-hill](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/53137306-from-up-on-poppy-hill) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
