The 5 Worst Studio Ghibli Movies, Ranked
Image
The entire Studio Ghibli collection is available to stream on Max.

Studio Ghibli is often considered a master studio of classic films, producing countless movies that can easily be enjoyed decades after their initial debuts. Spirited Away, for example, is still considered a favorite of millions of anime fans across the globe, despite having premiered over 2 decades ago. Ghibli films simply hold an unparalleled magic, and talents like Hayao Miyazaki are able to capture a timeless charm and a seductive sense of nostalgia in every production they direct.

How ‘Spirited Away’s’ Oscar Win Exposed the Academy
Image
The early years of the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature promised a future that never came to pass. Its current state as a depressingly predictable category dominated by whatever Disney released that year is one that feels limited through intention rather than ignorance, and it was 2003’s awarding of Spirited Away that sparked a sequence of events that spawned the show we know today.
