Hayao Miyazaki
overall influence - With most films Miyazaki has directed he has written and drawn for too showing he has a large involvement in the overall production.
distinct style and recurring themes - Miyazaki always does Fantasy Adventure films. The characters (human and creatures) always look similar from when he started out in stop motion to CGI. The main characters are always children often living in a adult world so it appeals to children but has a lot of adult concepts. Frequently makes references to nature and pollution in his films (Ponyo, My Neighbour Totoro, Princess Mononoke, and Spirited Away). Most films start with a female main character going into an enchanted world, they often meet a male main character who they have a connected past with (The floating islands of Castle in the Sky, the forests in Princess Mononoke, the spirit land in Spirited Away and From up on Poppy Hill).In most of Miyakis films characters often fly. He always creates well developed characters and Builds emotional connection with them.
whole body of work - Started of directing series. Massive collection of 21 films. first film in 1979
reusing cast - Always works with Studio Ghibli. Frequently uses music by Jo Hisaishi
