It seems like i'm a bigger Studio Ghibli fan than a Disney fan. I have probably seen more Ghibli works than Disney works. These are what i have seen so far:
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984, pre-Ghibli)
Laputa: Castle in the Sky (1986)
Grave of the Fireflies (1988)
Kiki's Delivery Service (1989)
Porco Rosso (1992)
Whisper of the Heart (1995)
Spirited Away (2001)
The Cat Returns (2002)
Whats interesting about their works is the consistency in the feeling of the film. I didn't realize until i looked at the date that some of them were made back in the 80s as i have seen most of them in the 90s or late 90s. You can watch them today and feel as if they were just made yesterday, which is very Ghibli quality. Mainly what i like about the Ghibli world is the real capture of essence in the setting of the place. Mainly its Europe or Japan, but whats great is you can really feel you're there. It gives you that cool breeze and makes you wanna lay down on the grass and close your eyes and go to sleep. Its that same feeling i get whenever i see a work by Ghibli Film.
For now i have these movies that i'm interested to watch:
My Neighbor Totoro (1988)
Princess Mononoke (1997)
Howl's Moving Castle (2004)
Tales from Earthsea (2006)
