STUDIO GHIBLI: INTRODUCTION
The greatest mainstream animation studio of our generation, headed by the greatest animator of our
time, Hayao Miyazaki.
Has consistently produced works that all uphold the studio's foundation of creative artistry and story-telling.
Unfortunately, it is shadowed by the
American powerhouses Pixar/
Disney, who have mastered the art of creating family-
friendly films and entertainment, but nonetheless lack an emotional/narrative appeal.

FOCUS ON ART/NARRATIVE, NOT MASS-APPEAL
Studio Ghibli is dedicated purely to the arts and narrative behind each story. It is known for its sentimental appeal and beautiful traditional animation, not focusing on entertainment.

WHERE HAS THE MAGIC
GONE....
Studio Ghibli can only be summed up as the place where the only real bit of magic has moved, after the downfall of the "magic" of Disney into the 2000's.
The magic of a pencil, not a
computer, the
beauty of a well-crafted story, and the sacredness of art above mass-appeal, this is what Studio Ghibli believes in.
Studio Ghibli is magic.

computer animation
