Pretty standard sci-fi fare for the time, with giant monsters and Tetsujin-type giant robots. Decent for what it is, but with only an hour runtime. Miyazaki worked on this anime, and you can tell by the art style, especially the main heroine who unfortunately appears for only the last 20 minutes. Character and plot development is minimal, and the film could've benefitted from an extra 30 minutes.

There's an environmentalist or anti-capitalist message in this film, but because of the short runtime it's hard ...

This is quite a terrible film. It started out promosing enough but quickly unravels and falls by the wayside. The movie is filled with manipulative writing to connect with the protagonist, but none of it is earned and by the end of it, you just want to move on and forget about what you watched. Nothing that occurs feels like it belongs. The dog looks like Scooby-Doo and comes across as goofy. After just recently watching The Dog of Flanders, the dog in The phantom ship might as well be a stuffed animal or toy as it doesn't emit anything genuine. The main protagonist is ...
