Favorite Miyazaki Film and Why?

Princess Mononoke, if at least for the setting and scenery. I love these folklore, spiritual and mythical things in a traditional japan.

iv only see porco rosso, spirited away, kiki's delivery service, and totoro im a scrub, i know (im planning to watch Yesterday soon though) from the limited ones iv seen, i really enjoyed kiki's delivery service it lacked a real plot and enemy but thats kinda what made it nice it was chill af and the scenery and background environment were amazing https://www.rotoscopers.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/kikis-delivery-service.gif

Ever since I heard about princess mononoke being shown in disney imax theaters, only for little kids to run out of the theater screaming within the first ten minutes because their parents assumed "Oh, its a disney cartoon, must be suitable for kids" in an anime magazine, it was instantly my favorite, and always will be. Actually, it's probably what sparked my interest in sociology. Gotta love good culture shock stories. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0e/fd/f2/0efdf2602ff738e8a1c2c883e50dc81e.gif But yeah, like Cupcakerin said, the shintoist environmentalism message is very well captured in a way that doesn't feel too preachy.

No mention of Castle in the Sky... y'all disgust me. https://78.media.tumblr.com/17ea67396dbc3ec0f95b3775211c246d/tumblr_p8r5ac3vBC1w33ey9o1_500.gif http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbHhZamze_I (but the correct answer is Spirited Away) edit: fyi- Miyazaki didn't make The Cat Returns, and he was only the producer on Only Yesterday.
