The Ghibli Child's Moral Power

This video examines how Hayao Miyazaki’s childhood trauma during World War II influenced the moral core of Studio Ghibli’s films. After witnessing his family’s refusal to help a desperate neighbor during an air raid, Miyazaki dedicated his career to creating child protagonists who act as the conscience for the adults around them. Unlike many Western animations, these stories focus on children who possess emotional maturity and a selfless desire to improve their communities. The video highlights how these young characters succeed because they are supported by trusting parents and inclusive environments that respect their autonomy. Ultimately, the video argues that Miyazaki uses cinema to imagine a more compassionate world—one where adults listen to the innate wisdom and purity of children.
