Favorite Ghibli Film, and Why?

For me it would be Princess Mononoke, which is also one of my favorite films, period. I really appreciate the maturity and nuance it brings to it's environmental themes, which have been done in many other films, but not as well.

  • Princess Mononoke is my favorite for sure. I love the character design, the setting, the environmental storytelling. And wulfy

    Besides that though…I really really liked Spirited Away. So rich and nuanced. I liked the twists and turns the film took

    • I absolutely love Mononoke. I just rewatched it a few days ago and it really impressed me again. It's one of the most soft-spoken movies I've ever seen, and the story is top-tier. Unlike some of Ghibli's other movies, it's a movie that's actually about humans -- not fantastical human-shaped characters, but the real nature of human beings and their place in a dangerous primordial world full of other thinking beasts and gods.
