imho they (Pixar) just overload the films with in-jokes and references and ultimately the computer animation is mainly soulless
Anyway 3 cheers for Spirited Away, My Neighbour Totoro and Ponyo

"Whisper of the Heart" is probably the greatest coming of age story ever told. It's honest, relateable, has vibrant, lively, animation, and an awesome cast of characters

While I do agree that much CGI is soulless and artificial, Pixar seems to break free of this mould, pouring much heart into their films which have a had a huge impact on me during my childhood right through to this day.
Although I don't see the point of comparing the two. It seems very much like an apples and oranges comparison.

funnily my young daughter (who I watch a LOT of films with) does not even count Pixar as animation whereas old movies she instantly sees they are hand made - even at 6 she understands its all programmed with Pixar...thats not to say computer animation is bad its just hard to get excited about it
some good cgi films
Despicable Me
Monsters v Aliens
Coraline
Final Fantasy - The Spirits Within --- technically groundbreaking just a shame it was not really FF

I remember getting fansubs waaaaaaaay back in the day before DVD was invented and the only anime showing at the time was Dragonball and Sailor Moon. It's easier to get ahold of anime with companies licensing it in the US, specifically Disney and Ghibli in this case.
Pixar does get a nod for mastering the new format though.

As said above, Ghibli is more about art. The sceneries are marvelous and the characters are more original. That's why I like it better.
