Wikipedia said:Studio Ghibli, Inc. (株式会社スタジオジブリKabushiki-gaisha Sutajio Jiburi ) is a Japanese animation film studio based in Koganei, Tokyo, Japan.The studio is best known for its anime feature films. Studio Ghibli began in June 1985 after the success of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind with funding by Tokuma Shoten. The company's logo features the character Totoro (a large forest spirit) from Miyazaki's film My Neighbor Totoro. At one time the studio was based in Kichijōji, Musashino, Tokyo.
Studio Ghibli has produced seventeen feature films, beginning with Castle in the Sky in 1986. It was followed by Grave of the Fireflies (1988), My Neighbor Totoro (1988), Kiki's Delivery Service (1989), Only Yesterday (1991), Porco Rosso (1992), Pom Poko (1994), Whisper of the Heart (1995), Princess Mononoke (1997), My Neighbors the Yamadas (1999), Spirited Away (2001), The Cat Returns (2002), Howl's Moving Castle (2004), Tales from Earthsea (2006), Ponyo (2008), Arrietty (2010), and From Up on Poppy Hill (2011). Sixteen of the films received both critical and financial success, with the notable exception being Tales from Earthsea, which, in spite of its commercial success, achieved less critical praise than Ghibli's other productions. The studio has also produced several short films and television commercials, as well as Ocean Waves, a television film. Eight of Studio Ghibli's films are among the 15 highest-grossing anime films made in Japan, with Spirited Away being the highest, grossing over $274 million worldwide.
This is a general thread on Studio Ghibli. Since Studio Ghibli is a prominent and big part of anime/Japanese entertainment, I thought I make this thread for discussion. You can share your thoughts on Studio Ghibli as a whole or your favorite Ghibli film or even upcoming Studio Ghibli films.
Personally I love Studio Ghibli's films. The ones I've seen have such powerful, moving and heart-warming stories plus I love the animation style. The were the first anime films I've seen and by far my favorites come from them. I just love Hiyao Miyazaki's style the most and he inspires me as someone who draws mostly anime. My favorite is Spirited Away. It's just really touched me for some reason. The story was just wonderful and well-paced throughout. It was my first anime movie ever and it just moved me a ton and the artwork was beautiful. Some of my other favorites are also Howl's Moving Castle and Princess Mononoke. What are your guy's favorite Studio Ghibli films? What do you guys think of Studio Ghibli films in general? Just discuss about them here.
