Studio Ghibli Nausicaa Valley of the Wind

The First of the Studio Ghibli Movies was by far way ahead of its league back in 1984. The creative mandate for all Ghibli movies probably was set by this movie. Serious yet soft, fantasy yet real, that's what made this movie so great.

If you haven't yet seen it, you better. Avatar the movie for sure has been inspired by Ghibli films, so if you like Avatar, you will probably love all of Ghibli.

Winner of the 2005 Oscar for best animated short film. Not too famous or popular. See it for urself.

This 14 minute animated short had a different message as compared to previous Oscar winning short animated films.

This one, rather depressing, serious and funny won the oscar in 2003 for the best animated short film. It wasn't too short though, but still.
