Meg needed to be rescued by a man, as did Jane. I have no clue who Marie, Ellie and Colette are, but can almost guarantee that their main point was being a love interest.
Lilo and Mulan are alright, but most Disney females are all about finding a man and falling in love. Miyazaki's movies aren't always so predictable, which is why I like them.
And the characters in Miyazaki films seem more thought out and original than any Disney characters, not to mention the intricate and interesting plots.
But as another Anon said further up, it's really not a good comparison as the two - Disney and Miyazaki - are basically only similar because they're animated and generally aimed at children. After that they go separate ways.
