Flight, work and moral seriousness for children. Miyazaki draws worlds that keep running whether or not the plot needs them to, gives young girls agency without a lesson attached, and refuses to supply a villain when a conflict of interests will do.
Signature
- Hand-drawn animation dense with incidental motion — weather, food, machinery.
- Protagonists who work, and whose competence is the point.
- Antagonists with legitimate positions; reconciliation over defeat.
- Ecological damage treated as consequence rather than as message.
