Top 3 Must See Studio Ghibli Movies

MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO – 1988

My Neighbor Totoro has a strong environmental message. Unlike Princess Mononoke though, My Neighbor Totoro is set during modern day Japan and follows the story of a father and his two daughters as they move to the countryside and discover several nature spirits, the largest of which goes by the name Totoro. For the most part, the film is a light-hearted experience focusing on the girls and their memorable encounters with the spirits. The dramatic subplot in the latter half of the film concerning their sick mother grounds the story somewhat yet reminds the viewer of the importance of magic and imagination in a child’s life. A classic.

SPIRITED AWAY

By far the most popular Studio Ghibli film. Spirited Away follows the story of a bratty young girl called Chihiro who finds herself transported to the world of spirits. Through perseverance and with help from her new friends, she must rescue her mother and father and learn a few important life lessons along the way.

With stunning animation, a cast of eclectic characters and a music score that will stay with you long after the credits have finished rolling, Spirited Away is a film for the entire family that will entertain the young ones and fascinate adults.

PRINCESS MONONOKE

Princess Mononoke is an Miyazaki Hayao Miyazaki Hayao’s epic fantasy anime produced by Ghibli in 1997. Like My Neighbor Totoro, Pricess Mononke also has a strong environmental message. It is a story about how Prince Ashitaka was caught up in the battle between Princess Mononoke and Eboshi, who used weapons and guns to take over the entire forest of the region. Finally, with kindness and sincerity, he gradually calmed human anger in Mononoke’s heart, and also made Eboshi somewhat wake up mistakes and understand the forest and people can share live peacefully.
