I didn't see my first Ghibli film until I was 17, so I don't have any childhood memories. I grew up with Lion King and Pixar.

Funny enough saviour the same part of Kiki also reminded me of my several run ins with birds!!
The first involved me at age 5 or 6 in London with my nan at a place called St James' park, well I was feeding the ducks and I decided to feed a goose out of my hand, for the life of me I don't know why. Anyway only being 5 or 6 and my nan reluctant in telling me how to do it I did it wrong and it bit my finger and wouldn't let go.
So I tried to pull it away but it pulled back even harder, so their was me in the middle of a tourist filled park in the middle of london playing a game of tug of war with a flaming goose!! o.0 thinking back now it is rather a funny story.
My second run in happened at the same park 3 or 4 years later, we had just finished feeding the birds this time and me and my nan had just sat down to eat our lunch on the bench. Well on the bench next to ours were a couple of Japanese tourists feeding a load of pidgeons with bread, of course once the bread was all gone they got up and walked away, so what do the pidgeons do, they turn to me and my nan as we are sat eating sandwiches and start to bother us. Well after a few minutes we managed to shoo them away and got them to leave us alone. When seconds later a kamikaze pidgeon come out of nowhere and attacked me. It was pecking my head and flapping it's wings and scratching me, my nan was throwing bits of bread from her sandwhich to try and get it off me but it wasn't working so she threw half of her sandwhich and the pidgeon gave in and started attacking half the sandwhich. It was an experience I do not wish to go through again ever. It was also the only time in my life that I disliked the Japanese.
I don't think the birds of St James' park like me all that much!! LOL!! They are hilariously funny stories though come to think of it!!

Chihiro's early behaviour kinda reflected my "inner" behaviour when I moved house in 1997.
I didn't display any displeasure per se, nor was I that against it, but I was in love at the time and moving away meant not seeing her almost ever again. So yeah, I was pretty bummed.

When I watched the part when it rained in Totoro with all the water puddles and the noise and pattern the water made when it splashed onto the ground reminded me of when I was around 5-6 watching the rain fall onto the concrete path and the ripples they made with my face glued to the window. =E I guess I was waiting for the sun to come out again

I feel that Chihiro's reactions in Spirited Away, could really reflect a child's inner world as they grow up.
Also in Only Yesterday, when the heroine remembers her young self, that reminds me of myself...the little girl in this one is so cute :-)
Edit: Also, I have to add Ponyo here. Both the little boy and the little girl

I remember walking 2 miles round trip in the early 90’s one summer with my little brother to the local Blockbuster Video to rent a movie (VHS) . My brother picked out Nausicaa Valley of the Wind. I didn’t think I would like it and in all honesty, the 1st time I saw it, I didn’t. But it perked my interests in Japanese animation in general. When I was older I rediscovered Nausicaa, liked it and started looking up other Miyazaki and Ghibli films. I own 14 Ghibli movies on DVD- so far there is only 1 Ghibli movie I haven’t liked.

Pom Poko. Maybe it's just a cultural gap, but it's not my cup of tea (I don't think?). I did not finish it w/ the little ones around, maybe I'll watch it by myself sometime. I had read that it is from a Japanese folktale. Anyone know if thats true?

')[you can imagine it by comparing my height and it's. it was at least 2 feet and i was 3.5 feet] so after seeing the cock i was a little bit afraid and thought that is a scary cock('
') .But i knew most of the chicken will run if you run-after them. I thought the same thing will happen to that cock too('
'). BUT it was not frightened at all. In stead it stared at me ('
') .Started shouting cockkororkoo and attacked me .Man that was a fight to remember. i ran left it would go to left , if i had gone to right it would go to right. I jumped it jumped too. then it started biting me .Then i shouted ('
') , everyone was having fun before i shouted , when i shouted they came and rescued me .Can you believe that i was rescued from a cock . I almost forgot the incident. i wish i had a video .But cameras on mobiles were not available back then. However enjoy the story.
