  People like to call Miyazaki the "Disney of Japan", but honestly that's kinda insulting to Miyazaki. Disney couldn't even dream of making films as good as Miyazaki's.

  When I was 7 years old I saw Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, today I'm a marine biologist, that's how much of an effect Miyazaki's stories had on me as a child. Screw wanting to grow up to be a Disney princess 😜

  In Princess Mononoke it's interesting how the movie doesn't totally take sides. While we're clearly supposed to feel that nature deserves most of our support, Lady Eboshi does so much good for those around her, and her followers practically worship her. She's extremely caring and supportive towards her people, but merciless when it comes to nature. It's not a simple black and white scenario for sure.

  When the Bible said that Humans have dominion over the Earth. I&apos;ve always taken it as &quot;Humans are the shepards of the Earth, so we must watch and protect it.&quot;<br>I&apos;ve noticed many others think that they can do whatever they want because they&apos;re Human.<br>Welp, guess I&apos;m Shinto now!

  In our current climate crises, it feels like the Shinto belief is the way to go.

  No mention of Kiki? The movie that teaches kids about responsibility and respect?
