I suggest going on line to the big book stores and looking up Japanese pop culture.
I know that there are at least two or three good books out there on the subject.  Sorry I
can't remember what they are called.  And any books on anime I think would only help as 
guides watching anime, although a look into http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/ (look for 
interviews, etc) might help, since Disney animators get so much inspiration from Miyazaki 
Hayao's films.


Good luck.
