She was cast for the role of Ruth in The Door in the Floor (2004) opposite Jeff Bridges and Kim Basinger.

In 2004, she performed the voiceover role of Mei in the English-dubbed version of Hayao Miyazaki's animated film My Neighbor Totoro opposite her sister Dakota Fanning, who voiced Satsuki, the older sister to Elle's character.

The plot centers around a "bad-boy"[ clarification needed ] actor who is forced to re-evaluate his life when his daughter, played by Fanning, arrives unexpectedly.

Scott of The New York Times writing that she "shows a nearly Streepian mixture of poise, intensity, and technical precision. It is frightening how good she is and hard to imagine anything she could not do." [27] Ty Burr, film critic for The Boston Globe , praised her "luminous naturalism that seems the opposite of performance" and felt that "Fanning easily convinces you of Ginger's emotional reality." [28]
