Name[edit]
The nameGhibliwas given byHayao Miyazakiwith reference to theCaproni
Ca.309Ghibli.[4]The Italian
noun "ghibli" is based on the Arabic name for thesirocco, or Mediterranean wind, the idea being the studio would
"blow a new wind through the anime industry".[4][5]Although the Italian
word is pronounced with avery hardɡ, the
Japanese pronunciation of the studio's name is with asoftg,[dʑíbu͍ɾi] (
listen)
History[edit]
Founded in June 1985, the studio is headed by the directorsHayao MiyazakiandIsao Takahataand the producerToshio Suzuki. Prior to the formation of the studio, Miyazaki and Takahata had already had long careers in Japanese film and television animation and had worked together onHols: Prince of the SunandPanda! Go, Panda!; and Suzuki was an editor atTokuma Shoten'sAnimagemangamagazine.
The studio was founded after the success of the 1984 filmNausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, written and directed by Miyazaki forTopcraftand distributed byToei Company. The origins of the film lie in the first two volumes of aserialized mangawritten by Miyazaki for publication inAnimageas a way of generating interest in an anime version.[5][6]Suzuki was part of the production team on the film and founded Studio Ghibli with Miyazaki, who also invited Takahata to join the new studio.
The studio has mainly produced films by Miyazaki, with the second most prolific director being Takahata (most notably withGrave of the Fireflies). Other directors who have worked with Studio Ghibli includeYoshifumi Kondo,Hiroyuki Morita,Gorō Miyazaki, andHiromasa Yonebayashi. ComposerJoe Hisaishihas provided the soundtracks for most of Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli films. In their bookAnime Classics Zettai!, Brian Camp and Julie Davis made note ofMichiyo Yasudaas "a mainstay of Studio Ghibli’s extraordinary design and production team".[7]At one time the studio was based inKichijōji,Musashino, Tokyo.[8]
In August 1996, Disney andTokuma Shoten Publishingagreed thatDisneywould distribute internationally Tokuma's Studio Ghibli animated films.[9]
Many of Ghibli's films in Japan are theatrically distributed byTohowhile home video releases are handled byWalt Disney Studios Home EntertainmentJapan.[10]Wild Bunchholds the international sales rights to many of Ghibli's films.[11]Ghibli's main international distribution partners also includeDisney(Japan Home Video, Taiwan, North America, France),[10][11]GKIDS(North America),[12]StudioCanal UK, andMadman Entertainment(Australia).
Over the years, there has been a close relationship between Studio Ghibli and the magazineAnimage, which regularly runs exclusive articles on the studio and its members in a section titled "Ghibli Notes." Artwork from Ghibli's films and other works are frequently featured on the cover of the magazine. Between 1999 and 2005 Studio Ghibli was a subsidiary of Tokuma Shoten, the publisher ofAnimage.
In October 2001, theGhibli Museumopened inMitaka, Tokyo.[13]It contains exhibits based on Studio Ghibli films and shows animations, including a number of short Studio Ghibli films not available elsewhere.
The studio is also known for its strict "no-edits" policy in licensing their films abroad due toNausicaä of the Valley of Windbeingheavily editedfor the film's release in the United States asWarriors of the Wind. The "no cuts" policy was highlighted when Miramax co-chairmanHarvey Weinsteinsuggested editingPrincess Mononoketo make it more marketable. A Studio Ghibli producer is rumoured to have sent an authentic Japanese sword with a simple message: "No cuts".[14]
On February 1, 2008, Toshio Suzuki stepped down from the position of Studio Ghibli president, which he had held since 2005, and Koji Hoshino (former president of Walt Disney Japan) took over. Suzuki said he wanted to improve films with his own hands as a producer, rather than demanding this from his employees. Suzuki decided to hand over the presidency to Hoshino because Hoshino has helped Studio Ghibli to sell its videos since 1996, also helping to release thePrincess Mononokefilm in the United States.[15]Suzuki still serves on the company's board of directors.
Two Studio Ghibli short films created for theGhibli Museumwere shown at the Carnegie Hall Citywise Japan NYC Festival: "House Hunting" and "Mon Mon the Water Spider" were screened on March 26, 2011.[16]
Takahata developed a project for release after Gorō Miyazaki's (director ofTales from Earthseaand Hayao's son)From Up on Poppy Hill– an adaptation ofThe Tale of the Bamboo Cutter. Hayao Miyazaki's last film he directed before retiring from feature films (as of 2014) isThe Wind Riseswhich is about theMitsubishi A6M Zeroand its founder.[17]
Sunday, September 1, 2013, Hayao Miyazaki held a press conference in Venice, confirming his retirement saying: "I know I've said I would retire many times in the past. Many of you must think, 'Once again.' But this time I am quite serious."[18]
On January 31, 2014, it was announced that Gorō Miyazaki will direct his first anime TV series,Sanzoku no Musume Rōnya, an adaptation ofAstrid Lindgren'sRonia the Robber's DaughterforNHK. The series iscomputer-animated, produced byPolygon Pictures, and co-produced by Studio Ghibli.[19][20]
In March 2014Toshio Suzukiretired as a producer and assumed a new position of general manager. Yoshiaki Nishimura replaced Suzuki in the producer role.[21]
On August 3, 2014, Toshio Suzuki announced that Studio Ghibli would take a "brief pause" to re-evaluate and restructure in the wake of Miyazaki's retirement. He stated some concerns about where the company would go in the future.[22]This has led to speculation that Studio Ghibli will never produce another feature film again. On November 7, 2014, Miyazaki stated, "That was not my intention, though. All I did was announce that I would be retiring and not making any more features."[23]
