More than anything, the works of Studio Ghibli do a great job romanticizing the ordinary. This makes ranking their 23 feature films a nearly impossible task, given how different a whimsical movie about a young witch is from a drama about a WWII airplane designer, from a movie about shapeshifting raccoon dogs fighting urbanization. Everyone from Guillermo del Toro, to Wes Anderson, to the animators at Cartoon Saloon, have been influenced by the works of Studio Ghibli.

It's no wonder, then, to see how influential the work initiated by friends and longtime collaborators Hayao Miyazakiand Isao Takahata has been on the industry. The studio has given us unforgettable classic fairytale-like movies aimed at kids, complex and mature fantasy epics, and tragic and beautiful dramas in a relatively short period of time. What's most remarkable about Ghibli is just how varied their output has been.

Often described as Japan's answer to Disney, the 35-year-old studio has introduced countless people to the wonders of animation, as well as produce some of the highest-grossing films Japan has ever released.
