Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze and discuss the visual choices in Hayao Miyazaki’s movies, that reflect the Japanese cultural identity as well as the international one. We see this universalization in his world designs, characters designs and choice of stories. This is what made his movies connect with a global audience, without disconnecting with the local one. We consider two forms of Miyazaki globalizations: movies with national symbolism and how they connected with the world community, and international story-based Miyazaki movies that succeeded in associating with the Japanese community.
