Earwig and the Witch
Goro Miyazaki gives us a sneak peek at the puppet show that will mark the debut of Ghibli’s first CG anime film.
The last time Studio Ghibli adapted a story from England it switched the setting to Japan, but not this time.
Goro Miyazaki didn’t seek any input from his dad, the famous Hayao, on how Studio Ghibli’s Earwig and the Witch should be made.
Hayao Miyazaki has read British novel inspiration “cover-to-cover five times,” will once again team up with son as director.
