Ghibli Museum
Goro Miyazaki gives us a sneak peek at the puppet show that will mark the debut of Ghibli’s first CG anime film.
Describes his dessert as “beyond satisfying,” producer Toshio Suzuki and son Goro also stop by.
After closing its doors for half a year, the museum is ready to welcome back visitors, with a few small changes.
The shrine to Hayao Miyazaki’s anime studio famously doesn’t allow guests to take photos or videos, but now it’s sharing its own!
Totoro misses you too, but at least he’s letting us know when we can start buying tickets again.
The legendary anime director’s sketchbook serves as the inspiration for a new exhibit on how the museum was created.
We visit the new Shirohige’s Cream Puff Factory in Tokyo and try the very special Rum Raisin Catbus you can’t get anywhere else.
After working on My Neighbour Totoro, animator Akemi Miyazaki steps out from her husband’s shadow to show us Totoro’s real-world birthplace.
