Publisher's Synopsis
Taking us deep into the production world of the animation studio co-founded by Oscar-winning director Hayao Miyazaki, this title investigates the production culture at Studio Ghibli and considers how the studio has become one of the world's most famous animation houses. It looks back at over 35 years of filmmaking by Miyazaki and other Ghibli directors, reconsidering the studio's reputation for egalitarianism and feminism, re-examining its relationship to the art of cel and CG animation, investigating Studio Ghibli's work outside of feature filmmaking, from advertising to videogames, and tackling the studio's difficulties in finding new generations of directors to follow in the footsteps of Miyazaki and Isao Takahata.
