Love, According to Studio Ghibli Films
160,077
Published 2021-09-25
Studio Ghibli films like Spirited Away and Castle In The Sky tell us that true love is based on a spiritual connection, the commitment to helping others become better, and equality. Creator Hayao Miyazaki has spent his career portraying more relevant models for young children’s first relationships, like deep, long-lasting friendships that evoke warmth and security and inspire better bonding techniques whether you’re a toddler or an old soul.

Studio Ghibli's non-romantic take on love is so much more healthy and wholesome than the romantic love we get in Disney movies.
-
as an aromantic person, the love portrayed in ghibli movies has made it much easier for me to accept my romantic orientation. It's one of only the examples I saw growing up of platonic soulmates, the kind of true love that doesn't need to involve romance or sex, and I cannot emphasize how vital that representation has been for me.
-
Don't forgot how Sophie's true love wasn't Howl but turnip head. When he realized his true love loved another, he was okay with that and was okay with waiting. I always thought this message was so important in respecting your partner's feelings.
-
“Love is a process, not a prize.” I’ll remember those words when writing my own stories.
-
Ghibli movies are always so deep and authentic. They should be shown more often to children vs Disney, it would teach them some real values about life, love, friendship and family. I love how Miyazaki, who is a man from an old generation from a very traditional country, always puts progressive values and topics forward in each of his animation.
-
Miyazaki's female charectors are inspired from his mother No wonder they are beautiful And sure he idolize a good woman
-
Miyazaki should be rewarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. That is my opinion.
-
Age-appropriate relationships? How perfectly splendid.
-
Whisper of the Heart is shamefully underrated, thanks for analyzing it!
-
This is why I prefer Ghibli over Disney. The characters actually have chemisty and don't always need to kiss in the end to show it. I'm sop glad I grew up with Ghibli!
-
Howl, while not being originally Miyazaki's character, is still a delightful example in this iteration...
-
Western culture has a lot of toxic perceptions about relationships. Now, it goes without saying that some eastern cultures do too, but I think Myazaki is making a statement here. We can all follow the examples of his films 😀. Love conquers all after all ❤️
-
as an aroace person, studio ghibli movies were the ones that resonated with me the most even as a little kid
-
I love how Miyazaki’s environmentalism and feminism shine through in his work. It’s so healing. ❤️🩹
-
Howl's Moving Castle is to me, the best animated love story to ever be put on screen.
-
Absolutely LOVE how a bunch of channels are talking about and analyzing themes in ghibli movies right now. Its so fascinating!
-
These are the type of relationships I want. Where both are good to and for each other and where they learn from and about each other with lots of appreciation, respect and authenticity. I can call myself lucky to be in a romantic relationship with a beautiful person. I rly wish this for everyone
-
I genuinely think Studio Ghilbi are the most romantic films to exist. They encourage healthy love and relationships where both people grow but don't need each other to complete each others
