As the 1990s began, the two Ghibli founders competed with Porco Rosso and Only Yesterday. Takahata created the latter, establishing himself as a more dramatically grounded artist than Miyazaki's literal flights of fancy.

Miyazaki's fanciful stories, from the ecological war epic Princess Mononoke to the wizardry and witchcraft of Howl's Moving Castle to the Oscar-winning masterpiece Spirited Away, have proven popular internationally. Takahata's final film before his death in 2018 was The Tale of Princess Kaguya.
