Turn Any Photo Into Ghibli Style

Transform the people in this photo into characters from a classic Studio Ghibli-inspired animated film while keeping them clearly recognizable. Preserve their identity, facial structure, hairstyle, skin tone, clothing, accessories, pose and relationship to each other, but reinterpret them through a strongly hand-drawn Ghibli-inspired animation aesthetic. Use unmistakable Studio Ghibli-inspired character design: softly rounded face shapes, simplified but expressive facial features, large natural-looking eyes, delicate noses and mouths, organic hand-drawn outlines, subtle asymmetry, and warm, human, emotionally expressive faces. Keep the characters charming and believable rather than chibi, glossy or overly modern-anime. Do not change the setting into a completely different place. Preserve the original background composition, spatial layout and main environmental elements, but redraw the entire environment in the exact same strongly stylized Ghibli-inspired 2D animation language as the characters. The location must remain recognizable, but every surface, object, plant, wall, piece of furniture and architectural element should be fully reinterpreted as part of a hand-drawn animated world. The background must not look realistic, photographic or highly detailed. Simplify shapes, textures, materials and perspective so the environment clearly reads as an illustrated animation background. Use broad painted shapes, simplified foliage, soft hand-painted textures, slightly flattened perspective, gentle outlines, visible brushwork and restrained environmental detail. Avoid realistic depth of field, photographic lens effects, hyper-detailed wood grain, lifelike reflections, realistic material rendering or overly complex textures. Render the characters as traditional hand-drawn 2D animation cels, with clean but organic linework, flat painted color areas, subtle cel shading and minimal highlights. Render the background with the same level of stylization, using simplified watercolor and gouache-like painted shapes rather than realistic scenery. The characters and the environment must feel like they were drawn by the same animation team for the same film. Use a warm natural palette with muted greens, earthy browns, warm creams, dusty pinks, soft reds and gentle blue tones. Use soft natural light rather than cinematic photorealistic lighting. Keep shadows simple and painted, with no realistic light falloff or glossy highlights. Make the whole image feel like a genuine frame from a classic Studio Ghibli-inspired animated feature film from the late 1980s to early 2000s: whimsical, poetic, warm and nostalgic. No text, no logos, no modern graphic overlays.
