Examples of Ghibli Hills in Western Animation include:

  • Samurai Jack: for a world controlled for hundreds of years by an evil wizard that supposedly sucked the earth dry of resources, there seems to be an unbelievable amount of unspoiled wilderness between the huge futuristic cities.
  • Avatar: The Last Airbender: The city of Ba Sing Se has a large agrarian zone between the outer wall and the city proper that looks like it would come straight out of a Studio Ghibli film (which is weird considering it's a barren wasteland right outside the wall).
    • It's likely that Earthbending has agricultural applications which makes this possible.
    • It's also noted in the DVD Commentary that the Fire Nation (which is geographically based on Iceland) looks a lot better than it should considering the people have been strip mining it for over a hundred years.
  • The animated movie of Watership Down is this trope incarnate.
  • "The Rite of Spring" in Fantasia.
  • The Secret of Kells. Though the ENTIRE film could suffice, Brendan's first visit to the forest definitely counts, particularly after he meets Aisling.
