Oh agreed. I was trying to suggest Mononoke for a small kid, just that I remember being tense for a lot of Nausica so might also be hard for a little. Still a great film, and appropriateness depends a lot on the specific kid.

Totoro is the pinnacle for young kids. Nausica and Laputa are great for ones a bit older looking for more adventure (but not the extreme intensity of Mononoke). Pom Poko is a great fable about sprawl with the one small note that the racoons magic oddly comes from their scrotums (see gif).

It’s so good. Todoro is one of my daughter’s comfort movies

Be sure to check out Howl’s Moving Castle book too! Diana Wynne Jones is an amazing writer (for kids & adults). The Chrestmanci books are really great too (they can start slow, but they always end with a bang).
