My father (~45) and I (~8) both fell in love with Ghibli (indistinctly remember my dad seeing Nausicaa on TV guide and saying “if it’s ghibli I’m not missing it”) after watching Spirited Away on Cartoon Network one random night in 2004 or so. Over the next 12 years I’d watch most of the rest of their catalogue & even visit their museum in Japan, but had yet to see PR until my birthday one year someone got it for me
I was NOT ready for that movie being what it was, nor the amazingly hard “better a pig than a fascist” line, and it’s my favorite from them and has been since
