''OnlyYesterday'', Japanese title ''Omohide Poro Poro'', was released in 1991 and is a typical StudioGhibli product--minus the fantastic plot devices that permeate most of the studio's work. It was directed by IsaoTakahata and produced by HayaoMiyazaki. The result features [[SceneryPorn lots of lovely scenery]], intriguing, believable characters and wonderful, fluid animation.
