If you’ve seen or read Harry Potter, you’ll probably be familiar with how things such as newspapers and paintings move in that magical world. Wouldn’t it be awesome if those were for real? Imagine having a glimpse of a movie trailer packed within a movie poster!
We’re not here to discuss Harry Potter today though. A hardcore Studio Ghibli fan recently cast their own magic on the world-famous Studio Ghibli productions, creating some amazing animated “movie posters” that took our breath away! See them after the break!
Prelude to Wind is a Tumblr blog dedicated entirely to the enthralling world of Studio Ghibli works. We’re not sure if the creator of these GIF images knows any magic, but we know for sure that they’re a massive fan of Studio Ghibli productions!
What we love best about this series of GIFs is that the creator not only covered the international box-office hit films, they’ve also given the less famous titles the same amount of love! Without further ado, here are the promised brilliant “movie posters”, in chronological order:
▼ Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984)
▼ Laputa: Castle in the Sky (1986)
▼ Grave of the Fireflies (1988)
▼ My Neighbor Totoro (1988)
▼ Kiki’s Delivery Service (1989)
▼ Only Yesterday (1991)
▼ Porco Rosso (1992)
▼ Pom Poko (1994)
▼ Whisper of the Heart (1995)
▼ Princess Mononoke (1997)
▼ My Neighbors the Yamadas (1999)
▼ Spirited Away (2001)
▼ The Cat Returns (2002)
▼ Howl’s Moving Castle (2004)
▼ Tales from Earthsea (2006)
▼ Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea (2008)
▼ The Secret World of Arrietty (2010)
▼ From Up on Poppy Hill (2011)
For those of you who have never seen a Studio Ghibli production, Prelude to Wind is possibly the best website to begin your journey into the fantastical realm of Ghibli! Do check out the Prologue page which lists a concise introductory made for first-time viewers! Needless to say, it’s a lovely site, packed with beautiful graphics and up-to-date Studio Ghibli related articles, not to mention a wonderful playground for Ghibli fans!
How many of these animations have you seen, and how many of them do you want to watch now that you’ve seen these amazing posters? Movie makers of the world might still have a long way to mastering magic, but with ever-advancing technology, who knows, we might be able to see such moving posters in the near future!
