Listopia > The Ghibli Effect

The “Ghibli Effect” refers to Miyazaki’s distinctive storytelling style, his way of romanticizing the mundane with an otherworldly twist.

i.e.
- Whisper of the heart
- Kiki’s delivery service
- Howl’s Moving Castle
- Ponyo
- From Up on Poppy Hill

“I do believe in the power of story. I believe that stories have an important role to play in the formation of human beings, that they can stimulate, amaze and inspire their listeners.”
― Hayao Miyazaki
