Miyazaki's movies I've seen:
Spirited Away
Princess Mononoke
Kiki's Delivery Service
Howl's Moving Castle
All excellent films, though Mononoke is by far the best. It's a very powerful film. And it's the only one of the four with a good dub. In fact, its the best dub I've ever heard. It's excellent, so you don't have to read subtitles on that one.

I enjoy Disney's dubs to an extent, but what really impresses me is their presentation on the DVDs. The alternate angles present the films not only in the original language, but even with the original text in Japanese on the opening and closing credits! Wow. Both version on a DVD in crisp anamorphic widescreen with superb booming sound interpolated from the original tracks in both languages. High quailty picture and sound on both versions. Take notes George. Miyazaki-san actually made Disney sign an agreement that they would not edit even a single frame.
