Hands down Disney is better.

Ghibli's films are really quite bland and Miyazaki is overrated. The studio has failed to produce any other talent on his level, so I fully expect that Ghibli is now finished.

If you look at the importance of disney in the history of animation there is absolutely no comparison. Disney pioneered every major technique in animation, and even in anime tezuka is a far more important figure than Miyazaki.

All of miyazakis characters look the same. It's laughable really. He hits you over the head with trite sacharine morality, his animation style is boring and subdued, the films are interminable, watching a ghibli film more than once is painful. Otomo, oshii, anno, and kawajiri have all done far better work, if not with as much broad family friendly audience appeal.
