Taking it one step forward, now users are beginning to make animated videos out of the AI-generated images, making their own small Ghibli movies.

Here's how you can hop on the trend and make your own Ghibli-style animated videos with the help of AI.

Follow these steps:

First, you can use the new image generation feature present available for ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team, and make your photos look just like you're a character from a Studio Ghibli film.

Using ChatGPT's text to video generator Sora, you can ask the AI to create an animated video out of your Studio-Ghibli style images.

To make the process even easier, ChatGPT itself can help you come up with the text prompt to make your new animated video.

For example, one prompt suggested by ChatGPT is as follows: "Create an animated scene in the enchanting, whimsical style of Studio Ghibli. The setting is a lush, green forest filled with towering trees and soft, golden sunlight filtering through the leaves. In the center, a young girl with long brown hair, wearing a simple white dress and carrying a small satchel, explores the forest. She is surrounded by curious, magical creatures—small, glowing insects that float around her and a mischievous fox-like animal that follows her footsteps. The atmosphere is peaceful, with a sense of adventure in the air. The forest feels alive with gentle movements, and the sound of rustling leaves adds to the tranquil mood."

Popular YouTuber Dhruv Rathee also took to Instagram and X to share his own animated Ghibli video inspired by the iconic artistry of Hayao Miayazaki.
