CollegeHumor hilariously re-imagines Hayao Miyazaki’s movies

My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle, Ponyo, Porco Rosso, and the list goes on. The animated films of Hayao Miyazaki serve as the the high-water mark, “the place where the wave finally broke and rolled back,” as Hunter S. Thompson said, and they’ll be considered classics for as long as the craft is practiced. Miyazaki’s movies reach beyond the regular anime cliche, but the folks over at CollegeHumor have re-imagined some of your favorites as if they were run-of-the-mill cartoon exaggeration.

Watch the hilarious video short after the jump.
