Default Disney vs. Ghibli
Two animation studios which are the cornerstone, not just for the children's cartoons of their respective countries (America and Japan), and not just for children's cartoons for the entire world, but which are synonymous with the absolute best in animation throughout the entire world.

So which is the best, what are their best movies, and just in general nerd out on both. This can just be a thread about talking about both, either, or either vs. either. Let's just nerd out.

I liked Chihiro a lot, but otherwise I haven't really fallen under the Ghibli spell, so Disney it is. They've had such a big impact on my life. I really love those old 30's & 40's shorts with Donald Duck, Goofy, Mickey, Chip and Dale, etc. The old Silly Symphonies cartoons as well.

When it comes to Ghibli, there's just so much other anime - both movies and series - that I like vastly more. But Disney's best years place them among the best of Western animation for me.

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.

Like everyone else says: That ending... Ouch. I'm afraid to watch it again, simply because I don't want to feel completely emotionally devastated.

And I mean Princess ****ing Mononoke. Jesus. At the very least they're abolutely equal in amazingness. And I seriously have to watch Kiki's Delivery Service the same I have to watch Grave of the Fireflies.

They're simply two studios that are a gift to the entire world.
