Description
** REVISED AND UPDATED TO INCLUDE THE BOY AND THE HERON ** The animations of Japans Studio Ghibli are among the most respected in the movie industry. Their films rank alongside the most popular non-English language films ever made, with each new release a guaranteed box office hit. The studios founders, Hayao Miyazaki and the late Isao Takahata, have created timeless masterpieces. Their films are distinctly Japanese but the themes are universal: humanity, community and a love for the environment. Studio Ghibli outlines the history of the studio and explores the early output of its founders. It examines all the studios major works including Laputa: Castle in the Sky, Grave of the Fireflies, My Neighbour Totoro, Kikis Delivery Service, Only Yesterday, Porco Rosso, Pom Poko, Whisper of the Heart, Princess Mononoke and Howls Moving Castle, as well as the Oscar-winning Spirited Away. Also included are the more recent animations: Hayao Miyazakis Oscar-nominated masterpiece The Wind Rises, Isao Takahatas The Tale of Princess Kaguya, Goro Miyazakis Earwig and the Witch and Hayao Miyazakis latest box office success, The Boy and the Heron, which won a BAFTA, Golden Globe & Oscar.
