Studio Ghibli is considered by critics and many spectators as one of the best animation studies in the world. This study has given us some of the best anime adventure stories, and the truth is that the difficult thing is to stay with just a title because its catalog is full of true jewels. Therefore, one of his films, Chihiro's trip, surprises us being in the second position of the list of the best films of the century made by the main film critics of The New York Times.
Without further delay, we leave you with the ranking that we have prepared from the best Studio Ghibli films.
6. Nicky, the witch's apprentice (Hayao Miyazaki, 1989).
As Miyazaki has accustomed us, the central argument of history in this film is the personal maturation of the protagonist. This story is adapted from the book of Eiko Kadona and tells us that each town has a local witch and the development of Nicky, our protagonist. This freshly fulfilled witch has a great talent to fly which takes the opportunity to open a messaging business, although things like painting, nature, child selfishness and astonishment are discovered along the way.
5. The castle in the sky
We are faced with a 100% work of Miyazaki, since the film is an adaptation of a manga that he wrote. A story of pirates and battles whose protagonist is a girl who descends from heaven. This girl is helped by a young orphan who falls in love automatically and undertake an adventure towards laputa (a kind of flying atlantis). In short, a story full of secrets and imaginative spaces with robots that stand out as romantic and melancholic that have gone down in the history of cinema.
4. PORCO ROSSO (Haya Miyazaki, 1992)
Porco Rosso is one of Studio Ghibli's most special films since with each viewing you discover new mysteries. In this case the protagonist is a somewhat bitter pilot in fascist Italy. We find the saddest love story of the entire Ghibli universe and with an end that makes us think and rest all our lives. If you sound the phrase "it is better to be a pig than being a fascist", you should know that it comes from this film, which is considered the most mature, stately and melancholic of Miyazaki.
3. My neighbor Totoro
This film is a symbol of Studio Ghibli. It is a short and very simple story that tells the adventure of two girls trying to get used to a new home while her mother is hospitalized. It is a film that stands out for the design of the characters, especially that of Totoro, a mythical creature or king of the forest. If we have to highlight a scene of this movie, it can not be other than that of the rain at the bus stop. A movie with a fun touch but in which we also find great and deep vital lessons.

2. Princess Mononoke
In this ranking, we have positioned this film as a second for being the film that gave Studio Ghibli notoriety, since its history makes you transport to an adventure of a young man who curses a demon and travels to an area at war between humans and nature. Miyazaki demonstrates in this film his most environmental side mixing him with one of the most charismatic heroines of the Ghibli universe, the wolf girl who also gives name to the film. One of the best known phrases of the film is "life is suffering and difficulties, the world and man are cursed, but we still insist on living." A film that refers to the passion for life despite the darkness of the world.
1. Chihiro's trip
Leading the ranking, there could be no other film than ‘Chihiro's trip’, a film that keeps the Oscar for the best animation feature in 2003. A film inspired by ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and that has become the masterpiece of Hayao Miyazaki. A story about human greed, the courage that involves growing and the liberation of the oppressive world that also leaves us characters, dragons and spirits that makes us dream for years with this story.
