A Visual Celebration of Miyazaki’s Weird Little Guys

The author of the post is a fan of the quirky creatures that appear in Hayao Miyazaki's animated films, such as the kodama in Princess Mononoke and the soot sprites in Spirited Away. The author has collected images of these creatures from the Studio Ghibli archive, including a notable image from Porco Rosso featuring children crawling all over a pig man's airplane. The author has a personal connection to these creatures, having bought a shirt featuring a kodama after seeing Princess Mononoke in 1999, which they later regretfully got rid of. The post celebrates the unique and imaginative world of Studio Ghibli's animated movies.
