What do you guys think is better?

Personally, I think Pixar and Disney kicks any Japanimation company's ass. I know and love Ghibli - Hayao Miyazaki is still one of my idols - but I feel like lately, Pixar has been dishing out some great films filled with imagination and soul.

Ghibli's movies have the same feel over and over again: magical girls, children that can fly, ancient culture being tied into modern day concepts... it's all interesting, but after a while it just becomes the same movie for me. Pixar, on the other hand, has movies based in so many different settings and has so many different characters... UP, for me, really the sealed the deal over American Animation vs. Japanese Anime. And, well, the movies from Disney's Renaissance are still some of my favorite movies, and I'm SO looking forward to The Princess and the Frog.

Those are my thoughts. What do you guys think?
