Dat Ghibli Though

So many of you are probably familiar with Studio Ghibli, but those who are not, they are a Japanese animation film studio based in Tokyo. They have been around since the 80s and have made some films you may be familiar with(if you arn't you should:D) like KiKi's Delivery Service, My Neighbor Totoro, Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, and The Wind Rises. They have many more movie, but those are some of the most popular.

Besides being one of the ol classic Japanese animation studios that holds some power in Japanese Animation, and striking a deal with Disney to international distribute their movies, these folks hold a lot of power in my world, and in my childhood.

They are a humble studio that isn't afraid to present murky feeling animation to hold artistic value, than perfect moving super realistic representations, and they don't like to hide behind entertainment value, to me these guys make movies that have something to share, not to say, and they capture me every time.

Looking at Spirited away there top grossing film to date, they came to Disney and turned in a loose, kinda of whacky, and totally invigorating of a girl whos parents get transformed into pigs and a girl who investigates a magical spirit world trying to save her parents.


Or looking at The Wind Rises, a movie taking place in Japan, just before World War II really kicks off, about a Japanese plane designer, and his story that takes place in this turbulent time. A slow, almost crawling paced movie that doesn't seek to hold you attention and entertain you with constant action or constant intensity, but rather settles you in to whats happening and keeps you captured with it's murky style.






I think Ghibli is awesome and I hope you guys too, what are your favorite Ghibli Films?
