I'm always torn between two myself.

On one hand, spirited away. A film I could gush about for hours (as I'm sure we all can).

On the other though, we have Wreck-it Ralph. A story that doesn't just coast of the cameos and throwbacks we all love but instead goes further to examine what it's like to be a designated antagonist. The only Disney film to rank higher than the older loves even with my nostalgic glasses on.

A quote once said "Disney films touch the heart, but Ghibli films touch the soul". I think that's pretty accurate myself.

What are some of your favorite animated films?

Whoops, I put best in the title and favorite at the end of the OP. I meant favorite. My bad about that.

Spirited away is a dick tease. Its gets you so hard half way through but then it stops delivering and kind of just ends.

The ending just felt so meh....

I think that's just an expectation for a big climax (which western media uses as a crutch IMO).

The beauty (aside from the amazingly detailed world and background characters) is the constant progression. One small example is showing Chiherio start with no manners at all yet you gradually see her start to pick them up on her own. It's not thrusted in your face, it's more subtle (which works better IMO). Greeting the lamp outside Zenibas house where it's a slight bow without any words.

It's little things like that you can pick up on but don't HAVE to (since it's not shoved in the face) that makes the film beautiful.

Hope you like it. It can be pretty heavy going emotionally.

Trying to think of other favourites

My Neighbor Totoro
Only Yesterday
Sleeping Beauty
Winnie the Pooh (2011)
Princess Mononoke
Beauty and the Beast
The Tale of the Princess Kaguya

I really don't go for 3d animation much. Moana was pretty good I guess.

Spirited Away is overrated af, but still good.

Princess Mononoke and Howl's Moving Castle are the two best Miyazaki flicks

Beauty and the Beast is by far my favorite movie, not even strictly animated its my favorite period.

Some others I love are:

Aladdin
Lion King
Toy Story trilogy
Inside Out
Nightmare before Christmas
Goofy Movie
Book of Life
Cats don't dance
Triplets of Belleville

I've never seen a Ghibli film, been meaning to watch all of them
