Ghibli VS Disney.

 

Okie dokie, oh wait a minute the reason why you saw Spirited away or Howl's Moving Castle or most of there works in the united states (besides grave of the fireflys) is because of.....

They dubbed them.  There the reason why there the first anime film to get an oscar.  (of course Disney have WAY more.)

 

Hey whats this...only a disney film is the only animated film ever to be nominated as film of the year.  

 

So basically we can check the list.

 

Americans made animation- Check.

Americans were the main inspiration for anime- Check.

Americans animate better- Check. (1)

Americans distrubute big japanese films so weeaboos can even argue about them- Check. (2)

Americans have made more influential animated films, characters than the japanese- Double, triple check. (3)

 

Pretty clean cut decison there, of course everyone knows the characters from grave of the firelflys more than mickey mouse!  Japanese guy and ummmm little girl last time I checked...

 

(1) Maybe this is true in your cherry picking comparison of Naruto, an animated TV series of mediocre quality, to Aladdin, an animated movie of the highest quality.  I noticed you didn't compare the quality of Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, or Howl's Moving Castle to Aladdin. ;)  Better yet, compare crap like Total Drama Island to Naruto and see who wins.

(2) They distribute them in America.  I assure you that Japanese companies are more than capable of distributing their content in their own country and language.  Had you watched one of the Ghibli films with Japanese dub, you'd realized they were just as good as, if not better than, the English dub by disney.  Voice acting in general is one area where Japanese animation totally destroys American.  If your compare the average Japanese voice actor to the average American voice actor, the Japanese will win every time.  There's much less room for actual acting, and voice acting is much more valued as a result.  With the exception of rare series like Afro Samurai and Disney-made stuff, most American voice acting sucks.

(3) Of course AMERICAN animators have made more influential animation/characters from your perspective.  You're AMERICAN (I think.  At least, you're from a western country).  It's much more part of our culture than any Japanese movie.  However, in Japan, it's the exact opposite.  I bet kids are much more likely to know Totoro than Mickey there.

 

No he is just being biased. You should know that there are many characters in Animes that are influential and are easily as influential as Disney characters.
