    I grew up with both Miyazaki and Bluth films.

    I love Secret of NIMH, All Dogs Go To Heaven, etc. but let's not whitewash over history. He also did "A Troll in Central Park".

    For every mediocre movie like Earthsea, there's also fantastic movies like Porco Rosso, Spirited Away, Naussica, etc - all of which I watched as a "kid".

    They both had their highs and lows. Seems rather pointless to try and bench them against each other.
