I have seen "Spirited Away". Probably the same director made some of these movies as well...
All of the films are bright, colorful, and imaginative. None of them follow a standard formula like Disney cartoons (plucky main character, two goofy non-human sidekicks, central villain with goofy sidekick, etc...). Some of them are clearly intended for children such as "My Neighbor Totoro"; some have more serious themes like "Porco Rosso" (survivor's guilt after WWI) or "Princess Mononoke" (culture clashes, ecology, and moral dilemmas).
I have yet to find one that wasn't worth watching.
