I haven’t watched a Hayao Miyazaki movie that I didn’t love. The graphics are amazing. He often includes an animal in the story.In Keikos Delivery Service, she has a cat (she’s a witch in training). In Howls Moving Castle, there is a silly little dog. In Princess Monoaki there are various creatures, including a forest being and wolves.

Most of the time his pieces deliver a strong environmental message. Sometimes they deliver a moral. Spirited Away is like that.
