When I watched Princess Mononoke, I felt like I couldn't connect to it. I'm not sure if I was looking for something simpler, something with some actual answers, or what. For what it's worth, I felt the same way about Nausica.
I really like Kiki and Totoro a lot and would recommend them highly. They're sweeter and simpler and much easier to deal with.
I'm torn about Ponyo-- I can't tell how much of my reaction to it comes from my phobia of deep water (this is really not a movie to watch if you have that issue). It was very pretty and aimed at the same audience that Kiki and Totoro are, but I didn't enjoy it much.
