No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

The Cat Returns, and then Howl's Moving Castle when he's a little older
Had to scroll too far to find Ghibli recs.
I don't know if either of those are good recs for OP's question. Both have female protagonists. The Baron and Howl both are mysterious and have agendas; they're not really role models. Spirited Away also falls in this category.
Ponyo and Castle in the Sky have admirable male protagonists, though they are not royalty (the girls in those stories are royalty).
Princess Mononoke has a protagonist who is a prince, but it's not really a kid movie. The stuff with demons and head-severing might be too disturbing.
Tales from Earthsea and Ocean Waves are just straight-up bad movies.
Porco Rosso is cool but he also smokes, not the best influence. Same with the main character in The Wind Rises.
The Secret World of Arrietty, The Tale of the Princess Kaguya and My Neighbor Totoro are all predominantly female casts. There are male father figures but they're not really role models, for one reason or another. The dad in Totoro is decent when he's involved, but spends too much time working.
When Marnie Was There and Kiki's Delivery Service are also predominantly female casts, no memorable male role models.
Nausicaa has some good guys but they're more like set pieces than characters.
Whisper of the Heart and From Up On Poppy Hill are more slice-of-life, no real nobility or heroics.
Grave of the Fireflies is definitely not a kid movie.
Car returns is fantastic
watching The Cat Returns before seeing Whisper of the Heart is mind-blowing
So we watched it, and I had no idea what to expect. It was really awesome. My head cannon is that The Cat Returns is a polished version of her book. Thanks for the recommendation!!
yeah!! I'm glad you liked it!!
I've never seen Whisper and tonight is movie night for us !!
