Studio Ghibli or Disney ?

Disney, it’s a name known worldwide for its many animated masterpieces, Snow White, Cinderella, Pinocchio, Lion King, Fantasia Aladdin, and the list goes on and on. If Disney makes it you can almost guarantee it’s going to be a smash hit.

But what about Japan, can any of their Anime rival Disney huh Liandro? You’re always praising Anime and saying that nothing compares to it. Well Anime doesn’t compare to Disney.

Jeez why are you so defensive, you’re right nothing compares to Disney. What Disney has created and done for so many years is amazing. But don’t put all your chips on Disney because Japan has a studio that can rival, even Disney.

Studio Ghibli, have you heard of it, maybe, maybe not. Studio Ghibli has been around since 1985 with its first animated motion picture coming out titled Castle in the Sky in 1986. When the movie was released it gained critic success all around the world. From this point on anything Studio Ghibli produced was one hit after another. Grave of Fireflies, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Porco Rosso, Whisper of the Heart, Howl’s Moving Castle, Ponyo, Arrietty and Spirited Away are just name a few. Studio Ghibli saw both critical and box office success around the world. All of these movies became staples that laid a strong foundation of what the future held for Studio Ghibli.

Isao Takahata, and especially Hayao Miyazaki got very much attention from the media and fans alike for being the main driving forces behind the success of Studio Ghibli. At this point in his career if Hayao Miyazaki made a movie or was associated with it, you know it was going to be gold. Miyazaki pours his imagination and love for story telling in all his movies, and you can tell. Each movie he makes is extremely imaginative and pushes the bounds of animation. This is art at its best I'm not kidding guys check him  out.

As a matter of fact Disney recognizes Studio Ghibli and is their main U.S. Distributor so that says a lot.

These are my favorite Studio Ghilbi films so far. Sadly I haven't watched all of them.
