Studio Ghibli

Oh my, I am not going to enjoy writing this and many people will probably end up mad at me, I apologise and fetch a shield, but an opinion was asked.
First, I should start by saying which things by Ghibli I have seen:
Nausicaa VotW, Castle in the Sky, MN Totoro, Whisper of the Heart, Spirited Away, Howl's MC, Grave of the Fireflies, Princess Mononoke, Kiki's DS (I think that's all). So, its a good enough selection to have a valid opinion (I beleive).
Second, my opinion is that I do not think too highly of Ghibli or Miyazaki. Its not the animation style that bugs me (I'm not wowed by it either and the fact that a lot of people seem to be missing noses certainly annoys me, but its ok I suppose), the music doesn't bug me (It's actually quite good), and its not the Disney logo or voice overs. I just don't see a whole lot of point to the majority of Miyazaki or Ghibli stories. I find them boring at best and laughable/tedious at worst. In the case of Mononoke, I found the story ok, but the whole 'save the planet' theme obnoxious. I really just can't stand to watch these movies because I don't ever seem to latch on to the characters or storyno matter how much I want to. I see that the movies have a very high budget on the animation, but then I feel that the stories are just too weak in the movies I've seen.
Third, I beleive that *activates sheild* Studio Ghibli has made the worst film ever made, anime or not. I'd rather not say what movie it is, it would just make people more made at me. Suffice to say, I cannot stand this movie and I cannot understand why everyone adores it (or in most cases simply think very very highly of it).
In conclusion: I do not like Miyazaki or Ghibli. I used to like it back when I first started watching anime, I will admit, and now I don't know why I watched some of them anyway.

I'm not sure exactly what age range Ghibli targets but I see very little in them for children. The stories often too mature for an under 10 to understand properly. They don't have any of the fun and inspirational qualities of Disney movies, many of which I have on DVD and have watched again and again even at the age I am now (20) which I really couldn't do with Ghibli films. And when I talk about what's inspiational I mean things that would be influential to a 6-yeal-old, colours and music etc. It's more subtle in Ghibli's films. Sorry to compare them to Disney like everyone else, but you know, it's the obvious comparrison.

Very good guess with which movie I cannot stand above all others.
The thing that annoys me about it is that spoiler[I feel that all the suffering the kids feel is brought on upon by they themselves. I felt the boy made a whole slew of extremely stupid decisions. What is most people's least favorite character was my most liked here, the aunt. I felt she was realistically made at the boy for doing nothing but playing with his sister all day and not helping out anyone at the house by doing anything, then the boy has the gall to complain about rice rations. By the end, I had determined the world was better off without them considering the foolish decisions the boy had made in my opinion. I was enraged yes, but at the pure stupidity of descions made by the main character who then appeared to complain about said decisions and not at their plight.]
