Ghibli Park, opening in November in Japan, will be a fever dream of a theme park for anyone who has ever watched Miyazaki's beautiful and often surreal animated films and wanted to step into the worlds they build. The Ghibli canon is heavy on themes of nature, friendship, strong females, flying machines, destiny and bravery. Their aesthetic is naturalism meets steampunk, sprinkled with its own proprietary formula of magical realism.
