For me, watching "Spirited Away"[1] was my mind blowing introduction to beautiful Japanese animation and Hayao Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli in particular.
As a child I used to watch a lot of the Japanese Robot related animations. A precursor to Transformers I guess. I also remember 'Kimba, the White Lion' which later got reincarnated as Disney's Lion King. But nothing held a candle to the beautiful animation of Spirited Away.

The article points out that the majority of the Disney movies are based on public works. It may be interesting to note the controversy around the 'concidental similarities' between The Lion King and Kimba the White Lion. (http://www.kimbawlion.com/kimbawlion/rant2.htm)
