Line 247:
* [[Captain Obvious]]: Many of their characters repeat what is clearly shown on screen. This is partially intended to bring foreign audiences up to date with some Japanese customs and norms, and as such is more prominent in their dubs than their native Japanese audio tracks.
* [[Cast of Snowflakes]]: In almost every single wide establishing shot the studio makes. They're known for attention to detail ''and'' completely ignoring [[The Law of Conservation of Detail]], showcasing many real-life details that usually don't end up in animation. The Cast of Snowflakes is one such detail.
* [[Conspicuous CG]]:

** Note the studio is still fully digital, and their works are often scanned and colored in by computers. However, these devices rarely add special effects. Miyazaki allows a maximum of 10% of his works to feature special effects.
* [[Cool Plane]]: What do you expect from a studio named after an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caproni_Ca.309 airplane]? Miyazaki absolutely loves incorporating these into his works, to the point where you'll be hard-pressed to find a Miyazaki film that ''doesn't'' have a cool plane. Leave it to Miyazaki to find ways of shoving a cool plane into a [[Kiki's Delivery Service|teenage witch's coming of age journey]], a [[Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind|post apocalyptic man vs nature film]], and a [[Howl's Moving Castle (anime)|fantasy fairy tale]]. There's a [[The Wind Rises|film]] about the creation ''of'' a Cool Plane, and [[Porco Rosso|another one]] about a ''pig'' flying a Cool Plane. Hopefully you're not sick of these Cool Planes, because we've got [[Those Magnificent Flying Machines]] on the horizon. When you've sat through the many magnificent flying machines in ''[[Laputa: Castle in the Sky]]'', prepare for Dola's [[Cool Airship]]. If it flies, Ghibli probably drew it.
* [[Creative Closing Credits]]: A large number of Ghibli movies put backgrounds from their films over their ending credits. Some, like ''[[My Neighbor Totoro]]'', feature original drawings created specifically for the ending credits. If you get really lucky, like in ''[[Kiki's Delivery Service]]'' or ''[[The Borrower Arrietty]]'', you get credits imposed on a fully animated epilogue.
