Harvey opined that animism's views on personhood represented a radical challenge to the dominant perspectives of modernity, because it accords "intelligence, rationality, consciousness, volition, agency, intentionality, language, and desire" to non-humans. Similarly, it challenges the view of human uniqueness that is prevalent in both Abrahamic religions and Western rationalism.
Animism is the most important tenet of Miyazaki’s signature films, including Spirited Away, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind(1984), My Neighbour Totoro(1988), Princess Mononoke(1997), and Ponyo (2008).
