The Top Ten

1 Spirited Away

Although Chihiro started off as whiny and a bit of a brat but after she and her family make an unexpected detour and her parents get turned into pigs and she is left on her own to try and save them by getting a job at a bath house for spirits and has to summon all her courage to save them and break free from the witch Yubaba.

One of my all-time favourite movies! The soundtrack and animation is gorgeous and amazing and the story and characters are as well! I remember when we even saw it in 7th grade and I was the only one who had seen it before

In my experience, this movie is absolutely stunning. The story is beautiful, with spirits, dragons and witches. The animation was astounding too, overall it just deserves to be number 1

This movie reminded me of alice in wonderland

2 Anastasia (1997)

Such a memorable movie

3 Ghost in the Shell

4 Kiki's Delivery Service

5 When Marnie Was There

6 The Secret of N.I.M.H.

Don Bluth's first major movie and still stands as his best work about a widow field mouse who goes on a perilous journey to help move her family to safety before the farmer's tractor destroys her home.

7 Coraline
