When i was 16 or so my aunt took me to a film festival that was showing Princess Mononoke. She didn't tell me what movie we were gonna see she just said it was a foreign film so i didn't know what to expect but to my surprise, it was an anime movie and at that time i was crazy for anime. i thought my aunt didn't like that sort of animation but as i watched the film i started to realise why she liked it, It was a Miyasaki flick.
At the time i didn't know who the hell Miyasaki was but it was very apparent this film had a cross over appeal, that is to say than it was more than just an anime movie aimed for anime fans, it was a fantasy film that anybody could enjoy regardless of their age.
This is one of my favorite movie experiences cause the whole thing was so unexpected plus cause it introduced me to Miyasaki's work.
