All of Studio Ghibli ranked! After reviewing every film (that I could get my hands on), it’s time to put together my definitive list.
Isao Takahata
Go ’round, come ’round, distant time,
Come ’round, oh, distant time,
Come ’round call back the heart,
Come ’round call back the heart
Birds, bugs, beasts, grass, flowers, and trees,
Teach people how to feel,
If I hear that you pine for me,
I will want to return to you,
I will want to return to you
“Mister Raccoon, Mister Raccoon
Can’t you play with me somehow?
No, I can’t I’m eating dinner now.
What’s for dinner? I want some!
I am eating pickled plum.
Can I have a little crumb?
Don’t be such a greedy bum. Get your own!”
“To be a butterfly, a caterpillar has to become a chrysalis first, even if it never for a moment wanted to become one.”
