Three stars. Rated PG.  80 minutes. By Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post The Academy Award-nominated “The Red Turtle,” from Dutch animator Michael Dudok de Wit, is a sweet, surreal reverie of a film. The first non-Japanese feature to emerge from Studio Ghibli —  home of such masters as Hayao Miyazaki and his acolytes —  this quiet meditation on humans’ relationship with nature hews to Ghibli’s core values of exquisitely rendered visual images combined with gently ruminative sensibilities. From its dramatic opening sequence, “The Red Turtle” presents viewers with an alternately frightening and inviting universe, where a nameless man is seen tumbling through storm-tossed waves, later washing ashore on a deserted island.
