Reply: Amanda, Miyazaki's films are a different breed altogether. Yes, many Japanese animations are about monster as such, however Miyazaki's films are very fanciful and for the most part have intimate stories. Unlike like many American animated films, Miyazaki's films are not about the "good" guy overcoming the "bad" guy, in fact, some of his films do not have "villians" at all!
All of Miyazaki's films have been released by Disney, both subtitled and translated into English. Disney took pains to get it right, and the films reflect that work.
I highly recommend his films. "Spirited Away", "Kiki's Delivery Service", and "My Neighbor Totoro" (click to see trailer) are a great place to start. Interestingly, they all have young girls are protagonist - your girls might relate. "Ponyo" has not been released yet, so that wont be here until next year, but you can find these titles at you local video store. Check them out!
If you are curious, Hayao Miyazaki is the director of Oscar-winning "Spirited Away" and other films like "Princess Mononoke", "My Nieghbor Totoro" (Marco's Favorite), "Nausicaa", "Kiki's Delivery Service", "Castle in the Sky", "Howl's Moving Castle". A master film maker. He is well regarded around the world. See Here for more info.
You must see his films.
