Not to be confused with the wonderful Studio Ghibli Museum in Tokyo, it seems that the much-loved anime studio will be opening a theme park in Aichi prefecture based around the world of My Neighbor Totoro.
The plan is to open the exhibit sometime in early 2020 at the Aichi Expo Park not far from Nagoya. Click on the pic for more details.
Studio Ghibli may now be a thing of the past but that doesn’t mean its former animators are going to stop making magical movies. Enter: ‘Mary and the Witch’s Flower’, a brand new feature film from Studio Ghibli alumni Hiromasa Yonebayashi and Yoshiaki Nishimura.
A new Studio Ghibli film is always a cause for celebration, particularly when it’s made by co-founder and master animator, Hayao Miyazaki.
His latest film, The Wind Rises, is something of a departure, in that it’s a historical drama with no hint of the fantastical overtones you might associate with him.
The Wind Rises is about aircraft designer Jiro Horikoshi, covering a decade of his life through the Kanto Earthquake and World War Two, and all the turbulence and tragedy that went with it.
