Ah yes, Tales from EarthSea, without the slightest bit of doubt, by the far the worst Studio Ghibli movie, is the first to have been eliminated from the Studio Ghibli Competition. 

With this, let us continue with the poll:

VOTE FOR YOUR LEAST FAVORITE 

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind

Laputa: Castle in the Sky

Grave of the Fireflies

My Neighbor Totoro

Whisper of the Heart

Princess Mononoke 

Spirited Away

The Cat Returns

Howl's Moving Castle

Ponyo

With Tales from EarthSea gone, which film will be the next to be eliminated? In my opinion, there are only 2 possible movies left that should be eliminated this early in the competition before things get tough. And those two films are From Up On Poppy Hill and Porco Rosso. But I have my opinions and you have yours. You can vote for what you please.
