@rockfan Awesome. My top favorite is Totoro and Kiki comes second. Laputa third.
There’s something truly special about Miyazaki’s girl characters. Nausicaa bridging the gap between humans and the natural world, Mononoke defending forest creatures, Chihiro getting work and facing scary situations to save her parents and Kiki exploring the unknown with zero hesitation.
All these girls are excellent examples of courage, self-reliance and exuberance of spirit. Truly inspirational. They make Disney princesses look like pfffft…lol
Btw Kiki’s cat rocks. :)
