Shuna's Journey takes its inspiration from a Tibetan folktale called “The Prince Who Became a Dog,” but the characters and plot are Miyazaki’s own. The story opens in a small kingdom struggling through a famine. The young ruler, Prince Shuna, learns from a traveler about a fabled “golden grain” that could feed his people. Ignoring the warnings of the elders, he sets out in search of it, only to find that the outside world is even harsher than his rugged farming community. Radulovic, Petrana (August 28, 2020).

Miyazaki and Giraud (also known as Moebius) influenced each other's works, and became friends as a result of their mutual admiration.

In The Birth of Studio Ghibli (2005), Suzuki states: "Miyazaki is a feminist, actually. He also has this conviction that to be successful, companies have to make it possible for their female employees to succeed too. You can see this attitude in Princess Mononoke: all the characters working the bellows in the iron works are women. Then there's Porco Rosso: Porco's plane is rebuilt entirely by women." [202] Cavallaro (2006) states: " Nausicaä constitutes an unprecedented accomplishment in the world of Japanese animation—and one to which any contemporary Miyazaki aficionado ought to remain grateful given that it is precisely on the strength of its performance that Studio Ghibli was founded."
