Who has the superior catalog of animated films- Disney or Studio Ghibli?

Disney has a lot more volume, history, and cultural influence on American film. I do prefer actually watching Ghibli movies though.

If you'd ask who has the more consistently good catalogue, then the question becomes a bit harder because Disney also has quite a few average and below-average films too

That's essentially what I'm asking. You can't completely throw out volume as a criteria, but I'm asking which catalog is better pound for pound

Disney and it ain't close

It seems like it might be Ghibli in this case, but since I've only seen five of their movies -- I went through a list on-line and hadn't even heard of half of them -- I'd mainly be going off reputation. But pound for pound is also flawed. In honor of the "The Godfather" discussion recently (AMC airing them seems to be the catalyst) I'd say John Cazale is the single most successful actor in history, pound for pound. He only has 5 full-length movies to his name: Dog Day Afternoon, The Conversation, The Godfathers I & II, and Deer Hunter. Every single one of them is considered a masterpiece. But he's clearly not the most successful actor of all time, so we need to insert a caveat for the pound for pound criterion too.

apples to oranges.

Disney is a giant throwing out multiple movies a year. They dont need to be great. It disney, it'll do well domestically and probably foreign. That's what really matters to them.

Ghibili puts out a movie once every year or two. It's way more of a work of art than just another movie. They are mostly all well reviewed. They are semi popular here, probably do way better in asian markets.

Cant knock disney for having duds/cant knock ghibili for not putting out something that great more often
