In the films of Hayao Miyazaki, there’s something magical about his older characters. They carry the weight of their years in the way they move, the soft tremble in their voices, and the wisdom etched into their faces. Characters like Dola from Castle in the Sky or Yubaba from Spirited Away are so much more than their physical age. They are rich with emotion—complicated, funny, tough, but tender—and that’s what makes them unforgettable. There’s a history behind every wrinkle, every weary glance, and every word they say.
