just watched princess mononoke last night. =) > Definitely agreed, if you've got kids Totoro and Spirited Away are good excuses to become introduced to Miyazaki's work. totoro and spirited away are my two favorite miyazaki movies. not that you're necessarily implying it, but these are not simply kid's cartoons. like a great poem, they're the kind of movie that has multiple layers of meaning and connects with people of all ages. and i'd recommend watching them in the original japanese, with subtitles if you don't understand japanese (i don't). you lose the essential asianness & the original emotional nuance of the dialog when it's dubbed, just imho.
