CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB

Studio Ghibli, founded in 1985 by Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, and Toshio Suzuki, is a renowned Japanese animation studio known for its hand-drawn films with rich watercolor and acrylic paints. The studio's films often explore themes like environmentalism, the tension between progress and tradition, and the lives of young people. Joe Hisaishi composes much of the music, using storyboards from Miyazaki to create unique soundtracks that blend elements from Baroque, jazz, and modal music. The studio has a strict "no-edits" policy for international releases, and has worked with various distributors over the years including Disney, GKIDS, and Netflix for global distribution of their films.

CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:

Studio Ghibli was founded on June 15, 1985, by Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, and Toshio Suzuki after they acquired the assets of Topcraft. The studio's name, "Ghibli," was inspired by an Italian word for a hot desert wind, which was also the nickname of an Italian scouting plane, chosen by Miyazaki because he was a fan of aircraft, and to represent the studio blowing a new wind through the anime industry.

The studio's mascot, Totoro, is a giant spirit inspired by raccoon dogs and cats. Totoro is from the 1988 film My Neighbor Totoro and is one of the studio's most recognizable symbols.

Four of Studio Ghibli's films are among the ten highest-grossing Japanese feature films. Spirited Away is third, with a gross of 31.68 billion yen in Japan and over US$380 million worldwide.
