In the vein of just how screwed up the US is concerning "cartoons", I was watching a cop show the other night. Our heroes were standing outside an apartment and could hear the tv blaring inside. They were there to interview a single male. One cop hears that it is Mighty Mouse playing on the tv and says, "Grownup watching cartoons??" and they decide to burst in through the door with guns drawn.

Even my wife (who puts up with far more nonsense on tv than I will) said, "WTF????".

I'm mixed on Ghibli ... he's definitely filed in my "pompous jerk with few clues" basket, but I'll always love his prime time works (Totoro, Spirited, Kiki, etc). My only thanks to Disney is for giving me a relatively cheap way to acquire them with subtitles. Disney's voicework dubs run circles around other studios.
