Takahata Isao is a giant in the Japanese animation film industry. He has created many of the most popular animated films. His unique visual artistic style fully interprets the artistic and ideological nature of animation. This paper attempts to analyze and study the visual art style of Takahata Isao's works from three visual elements: painting style, color application and stream of consciousness expression. To pay tribute to this animation craftsman, and also to provide some help for the visual expression of Chinese animation films in the future, so as to provide some reference for relevant researchers.
