Claw detail of the Giant Ghibli Miyazaki Clock - The sheer size of the giant clock is surprising enough: 60 feet wide and made of over 20 tons of copper and steel.

When the clock springs to life, a mechanical ballet with blacksmiths, puffing cannons, twirling wheels and slamming doors move in a kind of mechanized show.

The clock was designed by Hayao Miyazaki, the director and co-founder of Studio Ghibli. The giant Ghibli clock is the largest animated clock in the world.
