Try My Neighbor Totoro by studio Ghibli - at the beginning it's rather slow, but then it becomes such a wonderful thing that will make you happy, I'm sure. You can really see where the charm of Spirited Away comes from.
I agree so much. The beautiful world, the kindly spirits, the worries of the children and the care and support of adults--it's a very happy film.
One day I put it on my dvd player and just played it over and over. I love the little song "Totoro, To-to-ro"...
It's very much a film for adults, too.
I suppose you've seen The Triplets of Belleville? Very dark and strange! I loved it. (And the music--)
Spirited Away is very powerful stuff. It's a more mature vision of the darkness of childhood--it's captivating in a way that Totoro can't be...
Did you like Kiki's Delivery Service? I found it charming.
I liked Castle in the Sky a little less--it has beautiful backgrounds--like storybook illustrations--and interesting characters, but somehow the second part didn't engage me as much as the mystery of the first part.
