TOP STUDIO GHIBLI MOVIES
BEST HAYAO MIYAZAKI MOVIES OF ALL TIME
Hayao Miyazaki is widely considered one of the finest animators of all time. A recipient of countless honors, including an honorary Oscar for "inspiring generations of artists to work in the medium and illuminate its limitless potential," Miyazaki has produced some of the most highly acclaimed animated films over the course of more than 50 years. With its many well-known anime films, Studio Ghibli is one of the icons of Japanese animation.
These are some of my all-time favorites of Hayao Miyazaki's films. Three factors—story, animation, and direction—will be used to rank the top Hayao Miyazaki films. By the conclusion, you'll be familiar with the best movies in a canon of evergreen movies.
6. Ponyo (2008)
From the charming anime aesthetic to the recurrent topic of humanity's interaction with the environment, this movie is a Miyazaki masterpiece. Ponyo also includes a number of resolutely powerful female characters; in fact, Ponyo is a real force of nature, and her mother, the ocean queen, is even more formidable. In addition, Sosuke's mother and the three nursing home residents she looks after serves as a sort of chorus for the movie. And a hero's journey is what Ponyo is all about.
Ponyo exhibits all the characteristics of a typical 5-year-old girl: wonder at the world, curiosity, and humor. On the other hand, Sosuke is mature beyond his years, brave, accountable, and loving. Those who immerse themselves in Miyazaki's world will be rewarded with a charming, heartwarming fable that will leave small youngsters in awe—and probably begging for ham.
5. Princess Mononoke (1997)
Princess Mononoke, a wartime epic by Hayao Miyazaki, is moving, reflective, and full of action. The movie centers on a young warrior who suffers from a dreadful curse. He goes to the wilderness to heal himself, but instead finds a battle between nature and man.
Miyazaki frequently uses the theme of environmental damage in his works. Without a doubt, Princess Mononoke is as much a fantasy tale of monsters as it is a critique of deforestation. The narrative, however, never draws a clear distinction between good and evil, and as a result, it falters.
4. My Neighbor Totoro (1988)
One of Hayao Miyazaki's movies, My Neighbor Totoro, is undoubtedly his most well-known. But the richness of Miyazaki's early masterpiece is partly diminished by its iconic status. My Neighbor Totoro is a sophisticated yet childlike story of life and love set against a magically realistic backdrop.
The animated Totoro "monster" is instantly familiar around the world. Miyazaki's direction masterfully treads the line between fantasy and drama. It instills a sentiment of teary-eyed whimsy that awakens the child within each of us.
3. Porco Rosso (1992)
Porco Rosso is a movie about a military hero/bounty hunter who has been transformed into a pig. I'm not sure how it was made, but I'm glad it was. Porco Rosso combines funny characters with heartfelt moments of honesty to create a comedy that is both entertaining and lovable.
Porco Rosso is much less fantastical than many of Miyazaki's other films, which may sound odd to say. Despite its silly premise, it is also profoundly insightful, offering a wise philosophy of life. The fast-moving Porco Rosso pays homage to a time of vintage romance and motion pictures.
2. The Wind Rises (2013)
The Wind Rises, one of Hayao Miyazaki's best films, is also one of his most reflective. Jiro Horikoshi, a well-known aviation designer who is credited with developing the Mitsubishi A6M "Zero" fighter plane used in World War II, is the subject of the movie.
The animation in The Wind Rises is just stunning, from the intricately drawn interiors to the colorful city streets. Miyazaki, a lifelong aviation fan, claimed that Horikoshi's remark, "All I wanted to do was to produce something beautiful," gave him the idea for the movie. And he succeeded in doing so; The Wind Rises is unquestionably among the most exquisite animated movies ever created.
1. Spirited Away (2001)
A young girl who finds herself forced into servitude in a fantasy world is the subject of the novel Spirited Away. She makes an effort to revive her parents there, free herself from captivity, and save the guy who kept her alive.
Spirited Away demonstrates that animated fables have plenty of life still in them.
Conclusion
The works of Hayao Miyazaki should be included in every ranking of the greatest animated films ever made. What are you waiting for if you haven't seen these movies? Visit and take in these works of art.
