Studio Ghibli

Studio Ghibli is a renowned Japanese animation film studio. One of my favourite directors and also the co-founder of Studio Ghibli is Hayao Miyazaki. Most of my favourite films derive from the anime genre, produced by Miyazaki. These include Howl’s Moving Castle, Spirited Away and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.

Most of Miyazaki’s films critically explore contemporary issues such as feminism, war, and industrialisation. All of these films follow the theme of relationships and developments between protagonists.

I am going to focus on a few films from the Studio Ghibli collection and explore the key themes and issues in more detail.
