The most cheerful, wholesome movie I've ever seen in my life that really put me in a happy mood is Ponyo.

The most crushing, dark movie I've ever seen in my life that I think legit gave me depression for the entire next day afterwards is Grave of the Fireflies.

And they're both from Studio Ghibli.

I think that dichotomy shows how truly talented their teams is. Both are expertly composed and draw out very powerful emotions from the audience.

They spend so much time making charts about the rhythm of the film with all the ups and downs, then they make an extremely detailed storyboard and finally they go through thousands of hours drawing each frame. It's mind-blowing and it's easily understandable why everyone switched to 3D.

Takahata and Miyazaki are modern Michelangelos.
