"Earwig and the Witch" - Studio Ghibli goes CGI

[Crispy]

Adaption of the Dianne Wynne Jones book of the same name (she also wrote Howls's Moving Castle)
Hayao's Miyazaki son Goro directing, with his dad supervising.

Story summary from the novel sounds perfect for a Ghibli film

Not every orphan would love living at St. Morwald's Home for Children, but Earwig does. She gets whatever she wants, whenever she wants it, and it's been that way since she was dropped on the orphanage doorstep as a baby. But all that changes the day Bella Yaga and the Mandrake come to St. Morwald's, disguised as foster parents. Earwig is whisked off to their mysterious house full of invisible rooms, potions, and spell books, with magic around every corner. Most children would run in terror from a house like that . . . but not Earwig. Using her own cleverness—with a lot of help from a talking cat—she decides to show the witch who's boss.

My kids watch made-for-netflix TV shows with better computer animation than this

I really dislike CGI
As an effects thing in 'human' films it is good but cartoon CGI adaptations or spin offs leave me cold
