Examples of Ghibli Hills in Film include:


  • Western example: Mufasa's kingdom in The Lion King is like a Ghibli Savanna, which later becomes Mordor once Scar takes over the throne.
  • Some of the filler bits (and by 'filler bits' I mean the scenes between zombie attacks) in 28 Days Later show nice greenery, flowers/hallucinogenic visions, and horses running about in the wild. Even the ruins of Manchester are photogenic. Maybe England's just like that sometimes. Special.
  • The future city in Meet the Robinsons is surrounded by lush green hills under blue skies, with the Robinsons house atop one of the hills. In the Bad Future controlled by Doris, the city becomes an overindustrialized Crapsack World.
  • Naboo in Star Wars Episodes I and II has huge tracts of forest, swamp and grassland. Only one major city (Theed) is ever seen on-screen. (Well, there's the Gungan City of Otoh Gunga, but since it's underwater it doesn't make an impact on the scenery.) The climactic battle between the Droid Army and the Gungans takes place on the grassy plain outside Theed.
    • If by "outside Theed" you mean like the Himalayan Mountains are outside New York City. The grassy plain is supposed to be closer to the Gungan swamps.
      • The Gungan capital is implied to be nearly on the opposite side of Naboo from Theed (given references to traveling through 'the core' to get from one to the other). The battle plain cannot be that far from Theed, however, as it is clearly daytime in both at the same time.
    • The Gungan swamps are also Bubblegloop Swamp.
