Studio Ghibli is a praised Japanese animation film studio that was founded in 1985 by animators and directors Miyazaki Hayao and Takahata Isao and Producer Suzuki Toshio. Studio Ghibli is known for its filmmaking, high quality, and artistry. Its movies have every animation hand-drawn. Its feature films have won both popular and critical praise and have influenced other animation studios.
Founding and Early Films
Before founding Studio Ghibli, Miyazaki had directed The Castle of Cagliostr (1979), his first feature film. In 1984, he made his second one, Kaze no tani no Nuashika. The next year Miyazaki, Suzuki, and Takahata established Studio Ghibli. Most of the films produced by Studio Ghibli were written and directed by Miyazaki.
International success and later works
After Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind was poorly edited for release in the United States under the name Warriors of the Wind (1986). Miyazaki forbade his films from being released in the West for many years. However, in 1996, a deal allowed Walt Disney Studios to distribute Studio Ghibil’s movies, with the caveat that no filming editing was allowed. The following year, Studio Ghibli issued Miyazaki blockbuster hit Mononoke-hime.
The studio’s best-known movie, (2001; Spirited Away), won several awards, notably the Golden Bear at the 2002 Berlin International Film Festival and the 2003 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Later films included (2004; Howl’s Moving Castle),( 2008; Ponyo), (2013; The Wind Rises), and (2013; The Tale of the Princess Kaguya).
In 2001, the Miyazaki-designed Ghibli Museum opened in Mitaka, Japan. Its attractions included exhibits about animation and original short films for Studio Ghibli.
