When people watch his movies there is never a boy who is truly mean but confused and once they understand what is bothering them, if they want to change their attitude they will behave in kinder way and they will almost seem to shine, whereas Disney movies will always seem to completely destroy the villain and not at least give the person a second chance or a reason to want to change their evil ways. An example is the Disney film, “Aladdin” and in the first film the villain is alive but in the end in a magic lamp, but in the second film he is destroyed in lava. Kind of sad if you ask me that he was a bad guy ready to destroy the world and could have turned nice later if the main characters tried hard enough. Hayao doesn't really believe in violence and action, even though one of his films, “Princess Monomoke”, was probably the most intense film he ever created, but what he believes in is peace through his films. In Tom Gratti's article, Hayao explains that his aim was to “calm the situation a bit; don't just bombard them with noise and distractions. And follow the path of children's emotions and feelings while we make a film. If you stay true to joy, wonder and empathy you don't have to have violence and you don't have to have action. They will follow you." (Scratch). Hayao Miyazaki's characters are confusing but, in a good way, they make you think
