The thing I don't like about Disney is the way they patronise the audience so much.Everything has to be laid out so neatly for you. Nothing for you to do but sit back and watch some (predictable) pretty pictures. Essentially they have never learnt how to tell real stories with animation*
Also, they are always set in magical lands which don't have any real world familiarity. Miyazaki's stuff is set in the real world, warts and all, with little bits of magic thrown in. In makes the characters far more solid in the stories.
* With the exception of Pixar stuff and possibly Bambi.
