OK. Let's talk. Someone tell me what the latest Ghlibi film is. I have a wad of bills burning a hole in my pocket. ;D

Did you like Princess Mononoke?
Kiki is ok. A few of the Ghibli movies are a bit too basic for me. Epescially Totoro which had no plot development at all.
pb are you still missing Kiki's Delivery Service from your collection?
Yes I have Alfonse :) I enjoy the series, my brother has them all on DVD. Been quite awhile since I've seen them, might watch them again when I have time ^^

Well, yes, but they're not Raccoons (the dub makes that mistake), they're Tanuki. It features a load of Japanese spiritual belief as well, if you're up on your Japanese folklore and mystical beliefs then you'll spot quite a lot.

LOL yes I think I know what you mean. Ah Watership Down, another favourite of mine ^^ I'll get round to watching Pom Poko, yes I'm sure it's different from all the other Ghiblis as well. Raccoons beating up humans because they've taken over their land, right? :D

Excellent ^^ ah I saw quite a few of them in Singapore I'll try and get you one. I'll have to take a picture of the 17 little totoros lined up on my monitor hehe. When I start to earn more money I'll buy a lot more Ghibli stuff. I saw some really nice Totoro plates the other day while I was surfing. I'm sure my kids would love to eat their veg on them, heh. That would get me to eat more greens :D

Yes that's exactly how I see it. They're all so different that you love them all but for different reasons.

Can you name some you havent seen so I can go "OMG Can't believe that you havent seen it!! It's a great film you're gonna love it" hehe.

Had to watch a downloaded version so I'm keen to see it again on DVD. Hopefully they'll show it on TV soon, it is based on a British childrens story afterall.

It's really different. Imagine Watership Down on LSD, but with funny tanuki (a Raccoon-like animal). Though you have to be a bit careful with the kids when the males use their 'pouches' (you'll see what I mean, they only call them pouches in the Western dub, the subtitles have their real name!)

Yes please, that sounds a good exchange to me. I'd love one of those Totoro soft toys. Saw a second hand one at a Sci-fi convention but it was gone when i went back to pick it up.
Totoro has to be one of my favourites, but as the films are all quite different, my favourite Ghibli film will be dependent on what mood I'm in.
I still haven't watched them all, and I'm slowly building up my collection of originals too, so for some of them I'm waiting till I get the original DVD.
Howl's moving castle is fantastic, though and Pom Poko always makes me smile (even though the ending is a little sad in a way)

Oh maybe I should have recommended Howl's Moving Castle, it's a good movie and recently released. Based on an English childrens novel. I think I like Mononoke better, but Howl's still great too.

When you get time, check out this 6 minute music video, it shows great clips from many of the Ghibli films.
My Neighbour Totoro
Laputa
Princess Mononoke
Kiki's Delivery service (a young witch in training)
Porco Rosso
Pom Poko (yet to see it still)
Nausicaa
Whisper of the Heart (about a school girl who wants to be a writer)
You'll notice a lot of the movies are about, spirits, nature, etc.
My girlfriend, who's not seen any Ghibli's before is now a huge fan. My exes were too, infact when I showed one ex My Neighbour Totoro, her eyes light up because she thought she remember it (she's the chinese liverpool ex by the way). She kept saying something about a Catbus, but I just looked at her in confusion saying there was no Catbus, but yeah there is ^^ and I want to ride in one =(
