Where did the magical world of Ghibli animation come from? Know who is its owner

Ghibli Art Animation: If you did not watch ‘My Neighbor Totoro’ or ‘Spirited Away’ in your childhood, then you truly missed out on your childhood. Studio Ghibli is the magical world that introduced us to fairy tales, flying castles and unique characters and behind this magic is Hayao Miyazaki himself, the father of animation.

How much money does Miyazaki Baba earn?

Now brother, if we are talking about money then keep your ears open. Hayao Miyazaki’s net worth is estimated to be around $50 million (ie around Rs 400 crore) in 2025. Meaning, the man is rich and why not? His films not only become a hit in Japanese theatres, but also break records in the international market. ‘Spirited Away’ alone has earned $275 million. And then DVD sales, merchandise, streaming deals – the money keeps pouring in.

Chat GPT and AI created a ruckus

Now let’s come to the real thing. ChatGPT and AI created havoc. Recently AI generated Ghibli style photos went viral on social media. People are converting even the photos of their houses into Ghibli look. But wait! Mr. Hayao Miyazaki is upset with this trend. He had earlier called AI an “insult to life”. He said that no matter how fast a computer is, it cannot match human emotions and creativity.

Will AI sink the animation industry?

Look, this is true. Where animators take weeks to create a scene, AI is creating it in minutes. This is definitely a threat to traditional animation. But no machine can create magic like Studio Ghibli.
