Literally taking a ten minute break from watching that movie for the first time right now. But srsly, Spirited Away? Castle in the Sky? I love Disney so ****ing much, but Ghibli actually has things that Disney doesn't and should be acknowledged for it. I suppose they have a greater eye for the details of storytelling, and know how to better craft a tale, whereas Disney have issues with pacing wherein they often have tone shifts that don't quite make sense, and Ghibli's color pallets are, like... they just have the most gorgeous movies ever. They're so colorful and pretty and Jesus Christ. Calling Ghibli anime is almost an insult because it just so happens to be animation from Japan, but if Disney could be a genre, then Ghibli would be Disney and not anime.
But OMG Disney. Like one of my favorite things ever. I'm honestly working on a
lot of remembered Disney and a much less amount of Ghibli that I've seen, so it's really hard to compare the two. I have so many amazing memories of the Disney Renaissance and the old school classics, but also memories of the formulaic movies from the mid-90s and on that had the look but not the heart. And not to mention the 70s to late 80s ****fests that blemished Disney's good name.
So it's kind of really hard to decide between the two without kind of diving hard into both studio's filmography. Which I'm kind of doing atm. Or at least I'm diving into a lot of Disney, but Ghibli is very much on the docket. Either way, they're basically both the best things ever combined.
