They may be rendered in ink and water colour but they provide a much needed upheaval of the traditional ‘princess’ seen in the likes of Disney. Throughout this work there will be close comparisons and analysis into why Studio Ghibli has acquired this positive reputation and how the studio differs from the Walt Disney alternative. This piece will examine the works of Ghibli in terms of aesthetic choices, narrative decisions and how the protagonists remain positive role models through a feminist lens.
