The 11 Best Studio Ghibli Films of All Time - IGN
The Cat Returns (2002) ; The Tale of the Princess Kaguya (2013) ; Ponyo (2008) ; Porco Rosso (1992) ; Grave of the Fireflies (1988).
Kiki’s Delivery Service
This twitchy-witchy adventure may be light on plot, but it’s full of delightful energy. Brought to life with a color palette just as vibrant as its lead, Kiki's Delivery Service follows young witch trainee Kiki and her snarky cat Jiji in a coming-of-age tale inspired by the children’s story by the same name. Its deeper themes of empowerment balance out the sentimental edge of its animation, keeping this charming adventure from veering too far off track. With <anchor>Kiki’s Delivery Service</anchor>, Hayao Miyazaki proves there’s no limit to the ways he can blend magic and the mundane; perpetually reinvigorating the Studio Ghibli aesthetic. Kiki’s a loveable character perfect for bringing a story about confidence, loneliness, and risk-taking to life.
