The two directors of Studio Ghibli brought different themes and genres of animation to the table. Hayao Miyazaki was preoccupied with fantastical worlds hidden inside of our own world, flying machines or flying in general, and environmentalism. Isao Takahata focused more on realistic settings such as school life during adolescence and collaborated with Miyazaki to produce films that had more themes such as, growing up, strong female lead characters, forming an identity, animals with human characteristics

state of Seita’s nearly-rotting corpse. Remarks made by the cleaners and bystanders within the scene ”These bums are a disgrace.”-“Disgusting.” presents the shallowness and pessimism capable of human beings which connects strongly to the main theme Takahata tries to convey being the effect of the backdrop of war on the people and the diminishing virtue of humanity.

Traditional “feminine” traits include being easily hurt emotionally, verbal, dependent, and non-aggressive. “Masculine” traits are defined as aggressive, independent, and active. Ariel and other Disney Princesses typically fall into the feminine traits- throughout the film, Ariel cries and is extremely emotional, dramatically throwing herself down and sobbing over

animated movies incite young audiences. The funny characters and feel-good script entertain children and also gives them moral lessons along the way. The same cannot be said for international films such as Grave of the Fireflies (1988) directed by Isao Takahata and Waltz with Bashir (2008) directed by Ari Folman.
