Tonari no Totoro.

colt45joe · Apr 17, 2013

its up there among the best. why there gotta be one best?

RatskyWatsky · Apr 17, 2013

There is no "best animated film".

NIGHT- · Apr 17, 2013

Ignis Fatuus · Apr 17, 2013

It's not even Miyazaki's best.

shadyspace · Apr 17, 2013

It's not even the best Ghibli film

edit: yeah well I phrased it differently

UnluckyKate · Apr 17, 2013

ghost in the shell
Jin Roh
Summer Wars
Paprika
Owl Moving Castle
Nausica

Krev · Apr 17, 2013

Probably my favourite.

Perfect Blue · Apr 17, 2013

AnathemicOne · Apr 17, 2013

No it's,

Evangelion 2.0, come at me

Davidion · Apr 17, 2013

It's a pretty fucking magnificent animated film, I'll tell you that much.

Joe Shlabotnik · Apr 17, 2013

Do you think it is, OP?

sn00zer · Apr 17, 2013

Yes.... well I think so anyway

Brazil · Apr 17, 2013

No, it's Wolf Children.

Tookay · Apr 17, 2013

Not even the best Ghibli film.

All about Mononoke, bro. Great music, gorgeous animation, even-handed characters in an interesting fantastical plot.

Finaika · Apr 17, 2013

No its Mulan.

balddemon · Apr 17, 2013

it's good, but I'd say any number of disney films are better

lion king, aladdin, pocahontas, mulan

This. I think Princess Mononoke is superior enough that I didn't actually think anybody thought Spirited Away was the best, much less the best OF ALL TIME. Can you expand on your argument, OP?

teruterubozu · Apr 17, 2013

Yes. Although that doesn't speak very highly of anime.

Stinkles · Apr 17, 2013

Yes.

also Nolan, this is how you film dreams.

Ostinatto · Apr 17, 2013

Of the ones I've seen yes but of course I haven't seen everything

Betta Lines · Apr 17, 2013

No, that would be The Emporer's New Groove.

Salsa · Apr 17, 2013

Aristocats motherfucker

everybody wants to be a cat

Fivefold · Apr 17, 2013

Yes it is.

FloatOn · Apr 17, 2013

nope.

Iron Giant

Alaskanbullworm · Apr 17, 2013

It's a great anime, but is in no way the best overall animation

illadelph · Apr 17, 2013

Alice In Wonderland

SlowRevolution · Apr 17, 2013

I just saw it recently and loved it, but I wouldn't put it at best ever.

Blearth · Apr 17, 2013

I pick Ratatouille.

HalfBakedProphet · Apr 17, 2013

Kind of going crazy with the threads today, huh?

I disagree though. Nausicaa and Porco Rosso are my favorite (that's includes ALL animated films)

everyday math · Apr 17, 2013

Yes, yes it is. Watched it so many times. Its beautiful.

Anticitizen One · Apr 17, 2013

It is the best anime

Maninthemirror · Apr 17, 2013

To this day i have no idea what is happening in the fantasy part of the movie. Its too weird to me someone explain it to me

But does everyone want to be a fancy cat

Risette · Apr 17, 2013

Nope. It's not even the best Miyazaki movie, and everything he's done crumbles in comparison to Only Yesterday.

sn00zer · Apr 17, 2013

I would put Monsters Inc. up there as well

Haly · Apr 17, 2013

Not even from the same director.

Banjotanooki · Apr 17, 2013

Not sure about the best but it ranks up there among the best.

Also, if you're a fan of the music in Spirited away, check out this masterpiece:

Buckethead · Apr 17, 2013

As far as hand-drawn goes, it's either that or The Iron Giant.

Darryl · Apr 17, 2013

it's the best i've ever seen at least

jett · Apr 17, 2013

No, but it is my favorite Ghibli movie.

Blearth said:

This man knows how it is.

Fivefold · Apr 17, 2013

I almost never cry at movies and to this day I still tear up at the end of Chihiro. What is more remarkable is that those are not even tears of sadness, but of happiness, tinged by nostalgia and longing for childhood.

Spirited Away is a masterpiece.

I'll give you lion king but the other two arent nearly as great now. Actually I really hate how bad the cg integration is in early Disney films. Alladin Linda looks like ass in certain scenes.

ShroudOfFate · Apr 17, 2013

Nah, Nausicaa is much better.

No love for Kiki's Delivery Service?

NIGHT- · Apr 17, 2013

Has this made it on Blu ray yet?

Funny this thread came up, the "theme" song popped into my head a few times at work. So beautiful!
