    I usually loathe anime but Princess Mononoke was cool. Despite the cringeworthy voice "acting".

    I want one of those clicky little bobbly-head forest spirit dudes. XD

    But in all seriousness.. I love too many of his movies, and there's certain ones I'm not too fond of.
    First movie I ever saw of his was Kiki's delivery service, last one I watched was Howls Moving Castle (Introduced it to a friend on Sunday actually).

    My Favorite.. I have a list.. Howls Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Nausicaa Valley of the Wind, Castle in the Sky,.. <3
    (Not favorite in that order)

    I'm looking at his film credits now and I honestly can't pick out which I like best. I love Mononoke and Spirited Away but I guess I'll go with the first of his films I ever saw "My Neighbor Totoro".

    Spirited Away is the first of his I ever saw, and still my favorite. My older daughter's fave is the romantic Howl's Moving Castle. My younger daughter's favorite is the kick *kitten* warrior princess Nausicaa. My husband's favorite is Porco Rosso--you know, the one about the middle aged man who is cursed to look like a pig.

    We also love Kiki (best song!), Totoro (creepy urban legend backstory notwithstanding), and Castle in the Sky. The kids haven't seen Princess Mononoke yet. Ponyo is annoying--I know you're redoing the Little Mermaid fairy tale, and it's all about how the girl wants to be with the boy, but she's so whiny!

    I love all Miyazaki movies. Like someone else already said, I usually despise anime cuz its just.....I can't really explain. Anyway, we LOVE My Neighbor Totoro. My son and I set aside a "Studio Ghibli Day" and play all his movies. I usually make him a bowl of ramen with a piece of ham on top like in Ponyo and we eat mochi to try and replicate the cake they eat in Totoro. Yeah we're dorks.
    Spirited Away is a close second and so is Howls Moving Castle.

    That's gotta be one of the cutest things I have ever heard.

    Howls Moving Castle is probably my favorite.

    Just watched My Neighbor Totoro a couple weeks ago, it was very good.

    Love princess mononoke as well, and ponyo!

    His movies are the only anime i really like.

    Tie between Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away. Which is why I bought both, because I couldn't decide. Probably Spirited Away. Totoro was cute. I've liked all of them. Only one that let me down kinda was Ponyo. I was expecting something different I guess.

    He didn't direct, but produced and was conceptually involved in The Cat Returns. It reminded me a lot of the ones he directed.

    I'm a huge Miyazaki fan! My favorite would probably be Spirited Away, followed closely by Howl's Moving Castle, but honestly I've pretty much liked them all!

    *waves hand* :wink: Top three favorites are
    - Totoro
    - Kiki's Delivery Service
    - Nausicaa

    I loved that Totoro made an appearance in Toy Story 3. :smooched:
