Ghibli movies

Studio Ghibli is perhaps the greatest animation studio in the world. So which of the studio’s films is its best? In 2014, How Do We Live? Seems the master just can’t stay retired for long. Studio Ghibli is perhaps the greatest animation studio in the world (and before you say Pixar, note many people at Pixar will themselves say Ghibli’s the best). So which of the studio’s films is the best? This list ranks all 21 official Studio Ghibli animated features, as well as one pre-Ghibli film since incorporated into the studio’s library, one co-production, one documentary and one short film. This doesn’t touch upon the studio’s video game and television work, nor does it include the short films never officially released in the United States (some shorts can only be seen at the Ghibli Museum, which everyone must try to visit — Boro the Caterpillaris so good). So many of these films are masterpieces, and you could make a serious argument that all the entries in the top 10 could be deserving of the number one spot. Even the ones that aren’t so successful are still mostly worthwhile works of animation artistry. 25. TALES FROM EARTHSEA The one Ghibli ranking practically everyone agrees on is that Tales from Earthseais not the studio’s best. You feel bad for Goro Miyazaki, being dragged in to direct a huge movie with zero experience while also being draggedby his cranky, more experienced father. That sympathy doesn’t make this bad movie any better, though. The second disastrous attempt ...

For the next three decades, Studio Ghibli went on to produce some of the most critically acclaimed and financially successful films in its home country of Japan, many of them the highest-grossing films in the country for the years they were released. Their reach would extend far beyond Japan: Studio Ghibli influenced animators and live-action filmmakers around the world. The work by Miyazaki, Takahata, and their team to blend fantasy and reality can be seen in the films of people as different as Guillermo del Toro, Isle of Dogs: “With Miyazaki, you get nature and you get moments of peace, a kind of rhythm that is not in the American animation tradition so much.” There’s no arguing that Studio Ghibli’s commitment to artistry and empathetic storytelling has transformed modern filmmaking. It makes films that appeal to a wide demographic by refusing to talk down to children and allowing adults to explore their own feelings in unexpected ways. In just under four decades, Studio Ghibli has made arguably a dozen films that could leg...

When you think of legends in the field of animated movies, the ground-breaking aesthetic of the Japanese animation film studio, Studio Ghibli, likely tops the list. Its trademark hand-drawn, detail-oriented artistry and stories centering real-world social and/or environmental issues have constantly redefined what it means to create a delicately immersive animated world.
