Best Studio Ghibli Films – Top 5
5. Howl's Moving Castle: First, let's start our list with this 2004 film. Many say that this work is far from the quality standard that the studio and director developed, but we must give them due credit. Furthermore, the narrative and story are quite engaging and unique, working with several fun themes and well-developed characters.
4. Princess Mononoke: Now, let's talk about this huge success. Moreover, what's most striking about this feature film is how it addresses the duality of nature and humanity! All of this is done spectacularly through the eyes of our protagonist, Ashitaka. It's undoubtedly a true work of art from the studio, and we all need to revisit this marvelous film.
Best Studio Ghibli Films – Top 3
03. My Neighbor Totoro
Opening our top 3, we have the film that was memorable for everyone. It was also one of the reasons for the studio's rise in 1988. Even though it's an older film, it certainly gave us many reflections, especially with the childlike perspective of our heroines, who face difficulties due to their mother's situation. Not to mention that the performances of creatures like Totoro were fundamental to the development of one of the best films of its time.
02. Spirited Away
Now, let's remember the studio's biggest success. This film broke box office records in Japan and remains among the top-selling films in Japanese history. It goes without saying that this 2001 feature film left a mark on all of us, whether for its complex and thought-provoking story or its intelligent and well-developed characters. Without a doubt, every detail was meticulously crafted and executed by the team.
01. The Grave of the Fireflies
And finally, let's remember this 1988 work. Moreover, it dealt with a very heavy theme for the Japanese, as we saw all the difficulties they went through because of the atomic bombs and the consequences of the war. Thus, it certainly touched us deeply, even more so because we followed only two dreamy children.
Well folks, that was our special list for the day. I hope you enjoyed it and see you next time!
