If Hello Kitty can have her own amusement park, then it wouldn’t be too much to ask for a Hayao Miyazaki theme park, right?
With about 26 animations under his belt, Miyazaki has been countlessly recognized and praised for his animation style. Sure, there’s the Ghibli Museum in Tokyo which Miyazaki had a hand in designing, but why not continue to expand it?
Japanese artist TAKUMI (@takumitoxin) melded together the different worlds of Miyazaki’s films including My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Howl’s Moving Castle and others to create “Ghibli Land” (modeled after Tokyo’s Disneyland). Imagine how fun it would be to venture into Totoro’s treehouse, to step inside Howl’s magical castle, or even to watch the little kodamas’ heads tick and rattle right before your eyes.
As much as I hope that Ghibli Land will manifest and become a reality, my wishes will remain unanswered for now. But hey, a girl can dream.
