  Favourite Ghibli character(s)?Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Post Search for Posts by arren18 Report Post to a Moderator        IP Address Go to the top of this page

There's plenty of "fave ghibli movie" threads, but I've not spotted any about characters. So, who are your favourite characters from Ghibli movies?

Shizuku.

Sorry, but no-one else comes close

Except maybe Porco, when Fio sees his human face in the firelight - just for a second there he's just the perfect man.

Hmmm... and possibly Mei is a bit of a cutie as well.

Oh, and..... mmmm, no I'll stop.

Pazu - he's like a cool, agile and fearless cowboy who seem to know how the world works.

Haku - A boy (yes i know he's a river too) who have dual personality namely rude and nice (spirit boy and a spirit dragon too), both of which are portrayed positively.

Yamada family - I find their way of living as an average class family, with lots of flaws and weakness - a model of how happyness and being whole is the ultimate fulfillment, and that's what matters the most.

I've not got the Yamadas DVD and had no intention of buying it as I just don't like the animation style. However is it worth getting? What's the basic storyline please?

I couldn't do a list like that. But I can say that some of my favourite characters are (in no particular order) Jiji, Calcifer, Turniphead, San and Nausicaa. But all the characters are awesome really. Except that evil auntie in GotF. She's a bitch.

Yeah, I'll admit that Totoro is one cool dude. He was by my place tonight, damn wind is blowin' fit to lift the slates... If any of you are buddies of his tell him to tone it down a bit, huh?

I'd have to say Shizuku from you-know-what, San from Mononoke, are my two definite favourites.

I've recently come around to really liking Kiki, I think she is the prettiest girl Miyazaki has created.

Sheeta is cute too but in a less practical more fairy-tale innocent way.

Ok, so he has his bad moments, but he comes good in the end...
