(Even Hayao initially disapproved of Goro’s taking on “Tales from Earthsea,” Goro’s directorial debut, though he later offered some guarded praise: “It was made honestly, so it was good.”) And while being conventional isn’t necessarily deadly, “Earwig and the Witch” is an underwhelming Ghibli retread thanks mostly to its inexpressive 3-D animation style, as well as Goro’s relative lack of animation experience. There’s nothing new about the generic misadventures of plucky orphan Earwig ( Kokoro Hirasawa), the apprentice to stingy witch-for-hire Bella Yaga ( Shinobu Terajima), and the biological daughter of mysteriously absent rocker ( Sherina Munaf).
