I will most definitely check that out, never seen it, so thanks for the heads up! Miyazaki has many influences, another been Lewis Carroll, the great writer of Alice in Wonderland, and in some of his films, you definitely get a through the looking glass kind of experience, no question of it.

Will track down your recommendation though, thanks!

IMHO the only real competition to Ghibli's movies are some of the Soviet animations like for example Hedgehog in the Fog and other Nordstein's movies. The aforementioned film was selected as the "№1 Animated film of all the time" at a 2003 Tokyo festival and Miyazaki cited it as one of his favorite animations. I would really suggest you to watch it There are some good Russian film coming up in the near future that could hopefully attain the old standards but lately there are too many delays caused by the economic crisis

Thanks for the comments, glad you liked the post. You're absolutely right in what you say though: there is no question in my mind that Japan has got it nailed down and there is nothing that us Westerners can do about it!
