Moment of truth...

Keep in mind: I ONLY included the films in which (according to Wikipedia), Miyazaki was the SOLE director. The only one I couldn't squeeze on here was his latest work post-retirement (How Do You Live?). Also, alas, none of the other Ghibli films count, so don't ask for Arietty, or Grave of the Fireflies, etc.

Godspeed and happy voting! ❤

[Hey, where's Sophie??? She's technically a young woman who only looks like an old woman and besides everyone would vote for her and where's the fun in that?]

Please reblog for a greater sample size.

maybe i’m just becoming an older player but I have NOT seen as much want, hype, and discord exploding since juggler ts and I believe they should win for that. One of the channels literally broke in the official discord people were sending so many messages when they dropped

I think they deserve a little a win, as a treat: https://www.tumblr.com/bestestspirit/713561568998195200/round-1-part-2-troupe-juggler-abyss-guide

Best companion does not necessarily mean they have to get along with the Doctor the most, challenging each other in interesting ways could also count.

Explain in the tags who you voted for, with which incarnation, and why!

*Even though Spirited Away had its initial release in Japan the previous year, it had its wide-release in 2002 and was nominated for Best Animated Film (and won) for that year so that’s why I didn’t include it in the 2001 poll in case anyone was wondering.
