Future Boy Conan is on of my favorite anime of all time, but I generally dislike all the big Miyazaki films. I find them too Disneyesque and a bit boring, to give the brief explanation.
FBC, on the other hand, is kid friendly but has an amazing setting, fully realized characters, and amazing writing with arcs that just keep surprising, despite how fluid yet simple the narrative is and the lack of intellectual depth of it all.
Am I the only one who feels this way? I do generally prefer thought out series that can take the time to evolve over 90 minute movies, and don't really care about "amazing" 21st century animation, etc., over great storytelling.

No, I dislike almost all Miyazakis movies outside of Spirites Away, The Wind Rises and, for its backgrounds alone, Nausicaa. I believe that Future Boy Conan is his best work, but I still dont think it is all that great. Its a really, really good piece of work, but not even that managed to really impress me all that much compared to other shows/movies. Conan is one of Miyazakis very few works that actually has some proper writing. That sure as hell cant be said about most of his movies.

It was very well written and the fact that the episodes were 30 min a piece helped flesh the story out. Also it had a huge budget and had really no quality to speak of. I do very much like laputa and it is one of my favorite movies.

I always viewed Miyazaki as an amazing animator, basically one of if not the best you can get in the business, but a poor storyteller.
I even found Future Boy Conan a bit boring, though it was more engaging than some of his other works. Porco Rosso is probably the best of his work.
Pom Poko is simply a better movie than any Miyazaki work and KLK and TTGL has a lot of deeper layer to their story teller while being unique and completely kick ass in their own right with glorious animation and story to boot. If I'm in the mood for a good anime there ware simply too many better picks to choose from though rewatching Spirited Away now and then is nice

I feel the same, his storytelling skills are a bit lacking
But he more than makes up for it with beautiful and stellar animation
