Is it even possible to do good escapism in 2016? Many shows that shoot for escapist end up being infantile instead.

Theory: Escapism isn't about fantasy. It's about minimalist "edits" to reality (literal/allegorical doesn't matter) to allow safe simulation

Where simulation in the sense of flight simulator: you can learn to fly without suffering full consequences of crashes etc.

I don't think minimalist makes sense. Ghibli is usually maximalist, very effective.
