The 5 Worst Studio Ghibli Movies, Ranked
Jan 27, 2025
Studio Ghibli is often considered a master studio of classic films, producing countless movies that can easily be enjoyed decades after their initial debuts. Spirited Away, for example, is still considered a favorite of millions of anime fans across the globe, despite having premiered over 2 decades ago. Ghibli films simply hold an unparalleled magic, and talents like Hayao Miyazaki are able to capture a timeless charm and a seductive sense of nostalgia in every production they direct.
However, it's films like Spirited Away that set a certain standard for Ghibli. Some of the studio's productions, even if they still possess qualities typical of a Ghibli film, haven’t always met the expectations of fans who’ve fallen in love with Ghibli's brand of cinematic charisma. These movies tend to fall short on the delight and magic that has made the appeal of Spirited Away and other titles so enduring over the years.
