Nausicaa, when N. and the twin brother of the dead girl (Ashbel or something like that) are under the Fukai and he tries the very nutritious something-or-other (chiko?) nuts.

Yep, got it in one...

Your turn again...

"I am going to check on Jii-ji"

OK, reading the quote seems to tell which FILM it is, but which SCENE offhand, I don't know. I gotta look for it...

It's been so long since i watched a Ghibli movie.... But if i get the chance in the next day or two ill make sure its this one.... No doubt husky will have gotten it by then though

Not until tomorrow night at the earliest....
========================================
Well, I couldn't find the quote in the film that I thought it was... More thinking is required...
========================================
I watched one movie and have scanned thru 6 others and can't find it offhand...

========================================
I totally have no clue...
the name is baffling me...

Well... let's see... You'll find Jii-ji on top of a very strange looking observation tower.

dammit, I had a long explanation written and it disappeared...

Suffice to say, after watching Nausicaa, nothing...

I'm stumped...

No. it isn't in Nausicaa

You're spelling of 'Jii-ji' leads me to believe that it ISN"T from Kiki and the observation tower thing, I thought of the tower when the plane with the egg crashes in the valley of the wind or the space ship (sub?) tower when the Ohmu are attacking, but that wasn't right either...

Need another clue, Arkadian...

__________________

The spelling is as in the sub, so i assume no responsibility as to its correctness.

Another clue... The tower is in the shape of some sort of double pyramid... From it you can see a forest.

That's two clues now

I've got a couple of more movies to check before I give up...

I know the quotation might be a bit obscure, but I would have thought the film would be quite clear by now.
Oh, and yes, the film is "mainstream"

groan... you ain't helping.... lol

Hm, could it be Princess Mononoke, just in the beginning, when Ashitaka goes to see that old man in the tree, before that pig (Nago?) appears?

__________________

Hurrah!!! That's the one (well, except the "pig" bit... it is actually some kind of giant boar )

I knew this was going to be a bit more difficult than usual as the character (Jii-ji) is minor at best... but I could not resist tricking you into thinking that it was fomr some other film (right husky51? )

Your go, Jelly

No kidding around... I took Princess Mononoke to work tonight to check out just that scene... Only possible tower that I could think of, but my laptop refused to co-operate and play the disc...

Good show, Jelly...

Erm, can I apply for a position within tour company as soon as there is an opening?

Actually, it is a security company and I've been sitting in the desert for 8 hrs at a time. I finally told the boss that it was too much. It was tearing me up and it was tearing up my van too much from driving over the access roads (if you could call them roads) and pulling co-workers out of the sand...

besides Mononoke, I also took Spirited Away with me to check out the bathhouse and spirit city to see if there was a tower in there... I was just totally stumped as to just where it might be. That was a good quote, Arkadian.
