After working on My Neighbour Totoro, animator Akemi Miyazaki steps out from her husband’s shadow to show us Totoro’s real-world birthplace.
Totoro and Ponyo are waiting for you to eat them at this beautiful Hayao Miyazaki-endorsed cafe.
The new meanings revealed in this image, thirty years after the film’s release, have anime fans reaching for the tissues.
Our spoiler-free review of Hayao Miyazaki’s first new film in five years comes with a sneak-peek look at the official movie programme.
The beautiful love story between Vincent and Alliz reminds us that “life is beautiful but fragile, like glass itself“.
Totoro from My Neighbour Totoro and Jiji from Kiki’s Delivery Service are the stars of the show this year.
This beautifully styled collection recreates all the tiny details from the best animated meals.
This is the news we’ve been waiting to hear since the acclaimed director came out of retirement.
According to this former soldier, the message that director Hayao Miyazaki hid in morse code has never been revealed until now.
Jiji the cat and Totoro and friends feature on tops, pants, skirts, dresses and accessories in the collection.
