DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Wes Anderson United States

His meticulously crafted worlds treat inanimate objects and toys as autonomous beings with distinct personalities and agency, most notably in 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' and 'The Grand Budapest Hotel'.

 Hayao Miyazaki Japan

His films consistently explore the autonomy and inner lives of objects, spirits, and creatures—particularly evident in 'Spirited Away' and 'Howl's Moving Castle'—treating non-human entities as morally autonomous beings.
