Most people say that The Hunger Games are the films that Josh is best known for. For me, I think his best one is Howl's Moving Castle. He stated that he had fun considering the fact that during the breakfast scene he ate a muffin and drank water while recording.

If you count Little Nemo, that one was mine. If you don't, then Princess Mononoke. But I actually prefer this one more than Princess Mononoke.

In other words, "Tales of Earthsea" is the "Cars 2" of Studio Ghibli.

The Secret World of Arrietty is probably my favorite Ghibli film. I think the cast of the Disney dub (especially Mendler and Henry) did an extraordinary job with their roles, and the feel I get from the film is a unique one.

I actually liked Tales of Earthsea. I thought it was a decent film for a first time director who didn't have much experience. Also, Studio Ghibli has worked on 6 games.

AniMat - you forgot to mention that (The Borrower/The Secret World of) Arrietty is not only the fourth highest-grossing anime film in the US, it's also the highest NOT based on a game franchise.

I wasn't a fan of Earthsea but two razzies? It wasn't THAT bad. It was just "okay".

Goro Myazaki was definitely hit or miss when it came to making movies.

I can confirm that. His first film, Tales From Earthsea, is definitely the worst Studio Ghibli film. His second film, however, From Up On Poppy Hill, is not only a great movie but also my personal favorite Studio Ghibli movie of the 2010s. I haven't seen Earwig And The Witch, so I have no opinion on that one.

Wow, imagine Mamoru Hisoda directing Howl. That would've been vastly different from the film that it is now.

In other words, Tales from Earthsea is pretty much Japan's answer to The Emoji Movie

Howl's Moving Castle has such a gorgeous soundtrack:D

This makes Michael Keaton & Christian Bale as the only Batman Actors to be in English Dubs of Studio Ghibli films

Don't forget Dodie Smith's reaction to Disney's take on One Hundred and One Dalmatians.

tales from earthsea was actually the first anime movie i saw and i didnt even know it was from ghibli. Its kinda confusing(for me) to understand, but its one of my fav movies mostly because the animation(and dragons) are just absolutely gorgeus!

I have that Howl poster, It's great! :3

Also anime voice actor Crispin Freeman has a small role in Howl's moving castle

15:50 I laughed, but dude, you scared the shit out of me.

Wow!! This history just keeps getting better and better.

Honestly, thank you for making this series. It's so enlightening and interesting (: I always look forward to your videos. your oa

Arrietty was (and more than likely be the only) Studio Ghibli film I got to see on the theaters. Studio Ghibli movies don't get played in my home town so we had to go out of town to see it. The only problem was that at that point I was 14 so I couldn't drive out to see it. Lucky for me my Dad had a softball meeting the exact same weekend (and within the exact same time) the movie was playing in theaters. And it was AWESOME! What's sad is that it would be the last one my neighboring town (or I should say towns because they played in more than one neighboring town.) would get to show as the rest of them weren't released by Disney but by Gkids (which I hate for that very reason, because they would only show the movies in towns that were like 4 or 5 hours away from where I live instead of an hour away which is totally uncool.) At least I got to see one in theaters. Update: HA HA HA! I get to see another Studio Ghibli movie in theater's! And not just any, but Spirited Away!! They brought the Ghibli film festival to a town an hour away! I'm so excited!!!

Love this series, incredibly well put together and informative! Keep it up!

Oh that's right, I'm sorry about that. That event happened after Arrietty and before the release of From Up on Poppy Hill.

Nice Review Man!

Funny story: Arrietty was the first (and so far, one of two) Ghibli film I had seen in theaters, and there was only one theater in my area at the time playing it. It was shown in this tiny auditorium on the top floor of the three story theater. Later on, I found out how stingy Ghibli was about hard film distribution as opposed to digital distribution, which.... explained.... a lot.

I love ponyo!!! It’s adorable

Ponyo is my wife favorite anime movie. Mine are Akira/Ninja Scroll, can't decide which.

I have the movie and both the books. How I wished they'd make the second one, but it seems it'll never come.

20:46 Hi, it's actually Seer-sha (or Sur-sha like ''inertia'' as Saoirse pronounces her name), not Sar-eese. Love your work, though.

lovely

Howl's Moving Castle is my fav miyazaki movie.

Howl's Moving Castle is my favorite movie done by Studio Ghibli

Only one part left... so don't expect him to go into detail about When Marnie Was There other than it's Ghibli's last movie and Kiernan Shipka and Ellen Burstyn, who did the English dub as Marnie and her Nanny respectively, had work together before in the Lifetime movie Flowers in the Attic. I hope AniMat mentions that Shipka was in Legend of Korra! That would make me happy.

Ponyo and Howl's Moving Castle were the first Ghibli films I've ever watched.

Great videos. Very well-done and informative. Here is a few things that stuck out to me. 1) its DOLBY Digital not DOB-LY digital. 2) The third book of EarthSea is called the Furthest SHORE not STONE. 3) Wizards of Waverly Place not Wavery. 4) Cecile is pronounced SUSS-EEL not SUS-ILL. 5) Saoirse Ronan is pronounced SER-CHUH or SER-CHEH.

TheDerpyPotato ? i actually started watching animat after seeing his review of the ducktales movie and his epic mickey reviews.

honestly howls moving castle is the only christian bale role i enjoy. And there are womanizer plot points such as his castle is seen and the girls go nuts while doing rumors about him eating the hearts of beautiful women, the witch of the waste is a scorn lover, and when Sophie cleans his bath product spell making him a red head and not beautiful, he goes dramatic turning into a sorry sad muck puddle. In fact he doesn't want to take sides in the war as he just wants to be surrounded by beautiful things.

I remember renting Arriety on bluray and discovering that there was an unlisted hour long interview with Hayao Miyazaki. I promptly followed my viewing of the film with that extra feature and... I had heard that Miyazaki is known asa traditionalist and that he could be a bit cranky... But in that interview he tore up any notion that Yonebayashi's debut was anything more than simple acceptable tripe... Nothing to be that proud of... It was my first encounter with the Cranky ol' Granpah Miyazaki. The guy who would later utter the famous "anime was a mistake" and utterly destroy cgi technicians who tried to show him AI driven human IK rigs...

Long live Diana Wynne Jones!

I want to see howl badly!

That third book is called "The Farthest Shore". You accidentally said "Stone".

I prefer the British version of of Arrietty. The Disney one the character of "Shou" sounds to old for the age he's meant to be, where the British version sounds right. I'm also never happy with the alteration of foreign names.

Also, the story detail in Ponyo wasn't quite right. It was because Ponyo accidently and unknowingly released a huge magic power from Fujimoto's potions in the process of becoming a human, that caused the unbalance of nature causing the tsunami and floods as well as creating prehistoric fishes and so on.

3:23 Personally I don't agree with that mindset about Howl's Moving Castle being one of his weaker films.Does it have issues?Yes it does of course but nothing major enough to drag this film towards bad quality.What really holds this story together is easily the well written chemistry between Sophie and Howl as both are likable/relatable in what goals they desire. Now if I were to look at his weaker films I'd say Nausicaa Valley Of The Wind is one of them.While there are some characters I did enjoy in the story I feel its main character is so damn bland and uninteresting.Not to mention how one sided this film's nature vs humanity is where they paint nature in such an innocent light.Princess Mononoke which tackled this same idea did it *FAR* better.
