Well have you seen Shrek 2 and Kung Fu Panda? It should be easy to understand!

I have to agree with you on those 2 movies being better than Up, and Wall-e.

But that's mainly because I found those 2 to be some of Pixar's weaker films... Wall-e's brilliant the first half and not so brilliant the second half imo... and up was just... imo not as good as pixars other films.

And plus, Dreamworks made Antz. Which is probably my favorite CG film...

So they're all very good.

Yeah I mentionned Up and Wall-E because I also think they're Pixar's weakest titles (although I loved them still).

I don't know why people were disappointed with Cars. I found it amazing.

I forgot Antz. It was great.

At first, I liked Studio Ghibli. But then I saw Grave of the Fireflies, and I fell in love.

I still prefer Disney, Pixar and Dreamworks but Studio Ghibli is definitely amongst the best.

That's why the idea of a video game coming from them in collaboration with Level 5 (one of the best studio out there) can only get my hyped.

Better than Ghibli?

Shrek 2 and Kung Fu Panda are AMAZING and they're better than some Pixar movies like Up and Wall-E.

And I've heard that How to Train Your Dragon is pretty awesome as well.

There's no reason to dislike such a talented and dedicated company.

  Just wondering what film made you a Studio Ghibli Fan?

my first Studio Ghibli fim was

I have since seen all Studio Ghibli films and love them all.

yup, what you said



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Laputa for me as well. Resonated well with the Jules Verne wave I was riding on back then. I also loved the theme melody, had that in .mid lol... must have been mid-90s right after we got dial-up.

When I watched Laputa though, neither studio nor creator registered with me, was around 10-11 y/o probably. Spirited Away is what actually got me to watch a lot of the ones I hadn't seen, and rewatch Laputa (rediscover more like it).

Conan and Lana (also known as "3adnan wa lina" in the middle east) was my first ever ghibli experience and my god do I love that show to death! It got everything. a well realised post-apoclyptic setting, great story, fluid and beautiful animation for its time, funny and memorable characters.

I honestly can't think of another animated show or movie that I remember so fondly of. Oh the memories.

Well, technically Studio Ghibli was born many years after Mirai Shonen Conan was produced, actually even after Nausicaa.

But I get what you're saying: it's still Miyazaki, and it was filled with his aesthetics in all details and his sensibility in the chracters and plot.

I'll agree and check one for that wonderful anime too as my first great "Ghibli" experience. It was so different from everything else...

Spirited Away, I loved the fairy tale pace of that story. At times I could almost feel a sense of a big climatic battle against the which. Though in the end it was just a choice of her parents as pigs. It was great. What better sign of will,faith and hope than summing it up to a choice.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

i just remembered that THIS was my first encounter with Myazaki
