Studio Ghibli AU

Studio Ghibli AU is an AU in the fandom where the Big Four play roles from Hayao Miyazaki's films from his studio. This can be considered an offshoot to Fairy Tale AU and Howl's Moving Castle AU.

About the AU

Spawning from fanart, this AU places the Big Four, and other such characters in the fandom, as characters from director Hayao Miyazaki's animated films of Japan's beloved fairy and fantasy tales.

Hayao Miyazaki's animates have the characters find themselves through than, the foes befriend the heroes in the end and stepping into a world of fantasy that changes them in his work. Studio Ghibli's logo is one of the main characters in it's My Neighbor Totoro (fans have cast Baymax as the forest spirit neighbor) one of the many films where people step from the world they known into a world that helps them find themselves and their place in the world.

In lesser cases, the Big Four would simply dress up as these characters for a certain occasion like Comiccon.
