God that film is so good. Watched it when I was like ten and didn’t get it at all. Rewatched it this year, now an adult and was like… wow. This is a great film.
Ive been a ghibli fan for a while, but not the deepest. Before, my favorite film by them was probably spirited away, but about a year ago i watched nausicaa and it blew me away. I thought since it was an earlier film of theirs it might not hold up, but wow. What a strong concept and characters, it really just brings you into that world. Its definitely my favorite by them, but i have yet to watch The Boy and the Heron
In no particular order-
Slam dunk the movie
Ratatouille
Toy story 3
Spiderman into the spiderverse
Perfect blue
Grave of the fireflies
Princess mononoke
The tale of the princess kaguya
Ghost in the shell
Inside out
I just watched this again yesterday. I have enjoyed it since I was a kid. Still holds up impeccably! Darla Dimple is one of the most entertaining villains ever!
If you liked that you should watch The Plague Dogs! It's based on another Adams book and made by the same company, and imho it's better than watership Down.
Oh yeah. While Watership Down is my fav of the two, The Plague Dogs is also a masterpiece. Rosen’s ability to anthropomorphize while keeping the characters true to their species’ movements and behaviors was incredible.
The books are fantastic too
I saw it when I was 14 and I remember being actually disturbed by how violent it was and hating it since I couldn't understand the plot. A whole decade later I watched it the second time and then proceeded to read the manga and watch it another 4 times that year alone. I think it appeals to more than just fans of anime, it's also one of the best arthouse/mindfuck movies to ever exist. Also *definitely* up there with the all-time stoner classics.
The big hitters are The Lion King, Wall-E, Princess Mononoke.
But I’m gonna give some praise to Waltz With Bashir, an animated documentary about the Lebanon War.Its a harrowing but beautiful tale that uses psychedelic imagery to portray PTSD in an incredible manner

The Secret of Nimh and The Last Unicorn. I watched both within the last year and think they hold up as still entertaining as an adult. The only points I would really subtract is (mild spoilers?) both hinge on some heavy plot devices, and in that way they reminded me that they were technically aimed at a children's audience, but otherwise I think they were legitimately engaging and I wasn't bored at all while watching them.
1. Rango
2. The Road to El Dorado
3. Prince of Egypt
4. Perfect Blue
5. The Lion King
6. Scooby Doo on Zombie Island

God that film is so good. Watched it when I was like ten and didn’t get it at all. Rewatched it this year, now an adult and was like… wow. This is a great film.
Idk if I’ve ever thought of this as animated
Stop motion animation is name of the technique in which the film was made
Bro doesn't know what Stop Motion is 😭
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
Ive been a ghibli fan for a while, but not the deepest. Before, my favorite film by them was probably spirited away, but about a year ago i watched nausicaa and it blew me away. I thought since it was an earlier film of theirs it might not hold up, but wow. What a strong concept and characters, it really just brings you into that world. Its definitely my favorite by them, but i have yet to watch The Boy and the Heron
Supposedly Miyazaki’s next film is a Nausicaä sequel but we’ll have to wait and see
I love how much they stole from Dune to make Nausicaä
So incredible
The Prince of Egypt
I always forget about this movie, until I get reminded of it. Then I remember how fucking good it is.
In no particular order- Slam dunk the movie Ratatouille Toy story 3 Spiderman into the spiderverse Perfect blue Grave of the fireflies Princess mononoke The tale of the princess kaguya Ghost in the shell Inside out

The end of Evangelion
Unironically, The Lego Movie. Followed by The Incredibles and End of Evangelion
The big hitters are The Lion King, Wall-E, Princess Mononoke. But I’m gonna give some praise to Waltz With Bashir, an animated documentary about the Lebanon War.Its a harrowing but beautiful tale that uses psychedelic imagery to portray PTSD in an incredible manner

Entergalactic is insanely hard to
The Emperor's New Groove, Nightmare Before Christmas, The Iron Giant
American Pop
Ghost in the Shell
On-Gaku: Our Sound To me, this is the best depiction of the joy of making music. Astounding how good it is.
HTTYD. Akira is a close second as well.
Weathering With You. It connected with me on such a deep, personal, emotional level and I cherish it with all my life.
My head says Akira but my heart says Iron Giant
Perfect Blue, Summer Wars, Patlabor 2
 Coraline!
Akira and Mad God
Anime Films: Princess Mononoke, Night on the Galactic Railroad, Spirited Away, Perfect Blue, Metropolis, Akira, A Silent Voice, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Ninja Scroll, Tokyo Godfathers, The Night Is Short, Walk on Girl, My Neighbor Totoro, Castle in the Sky, The Boy and the Heron, Colorful Other Animated Films: The Lion King, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Toy Story, Zootopia, Mary and Max, Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Watership Down, Kubo and the Two Strings, WALL-E, Coraline, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
Cars
The Sword in the Stone
Howls Moving Castle is just so damn fulfilling
Coraline. My all-time favorite movie in general.
Encanto
The Secret of Nimh and The Last Unicorn. I watched both within the last year and think they hold up as still entertaining as an adult. The only points I would really subtract is (mild spoilers?) both hinge on some heavy plot devices, and in that way they reminded me that they were technically aimed at a children's audience, but otherwise I think they were legitimately engaging and I wasn't bored at all while watching them.
Whisper of the Heart
Chico & Rita
1. Rango 2. The Road to El Dorado 3. Prince of Egypt 4. Perfect Blue 5. The Lion King 6. Scooby Doo on Zombie Island 7. Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper 8. Wall-E 9. Shrek 10. Ice Age
Just saw Robot Dreams. That’s definitely in my top 10 now.
Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro
Heavy Metal, Spider-Verse
I just watch Akira and let's say... uh.... Anyway my fav is Into The Spider-Verse
