#19 - Studio Ghibli
Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle... Studio Ghibli's influence upon Japanese and international animation remains immense. After 19 feature films, several short films, and countless commercials, Ghibli's simple aesthetic has become synonymous with animation.
But how did a regular animation in Tokyo, and named after an Italian airplane, rise to such heights? What are some common themes and ideas scattered throughout the Ghibli world (33:25)? How does Miyakazi use nostalgia to influence his audience? And more importantly, I bring on our guest, Nathan Ng, to rank every Ghibli film we have ever watched (12:00).
