A new video from YouTube channel [Movie Munchies](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBehHitrhQcMGjJfeTF3fGQ "undefined") shows how Miyazaki subtly snuck the name of his animation studio, Studio Ghibli, into his films, including on a bus billboard in _Kiki’s Delivery Service_ and multiple times into _Porco Rosso._ Miyazaki also planted little reminders — or Easter eggs — of his past work into his films, which until now, were only there for eagle-eyed fans and repeat viewers. Examples of Miyazaki playing homage to his past work include a Jiji the Cat pillow in a bedroom in _Spirited Away,_ a _Castle in the Sky_ character walking down the street in _Howl’s Moving Castle_ and a _Totoro_ book on the shelf in the library in _Whispers of the Heart_. He even managed to take a page out of Alfred Hitchcock’s and Stan Lee’s books and inject a little caricature of himself into the films. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3836545/hayao-miyazaki-studio-ghibli-easter-eggs/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3836545/hayao-miyazaki-studio-ghibli-easter-eggs/"},"headline":"This Video Puts All the Studio Ghibli Easter Eggs in One Incredible Supercut","datePublished":"2015-04-27T20:09:04.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:19:10.051Z","description":"Including Easter eggs from My Neighbor Totoro and Howl's Moving Castle","url":"https://time.com/3836545/hayao-miyazaki-studio-ghibli-easter-eggs/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies","Videos","mashups"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3836545/hayao-miyazaki-studio-ghibli-easter-eggs/","name":"This Video Puts All the Studio Ghibli Easter Eggs in One Incredible Supercut"}}]}] ```
